DHAKA: Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud said that Palestinians have right to East Jerusalem as their capital.

On Wednesday (December 13), making no mention of city's western areas, Salman speaks in the same tone after Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit held in Turkey.  

The Saudi Kin called for a political solution to resolve the on-going crisis. He expressed his concern over this issue to restore the legitimate rights of Palestinian people and to establish their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

On the other hand, Salman denounces US President Donald Trump’s decision, saying that it is a representation extreme bias against the rights of the Palestinian people in Jerusalem.
