JI announces protest over Trump’s Jerusalem decision

ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) has announced country-wide protest against US President Donald Trump's announcement to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Samaa reported.

According to details, the religious party announced that a country-wide protest will be held on 8th December against Trump's decision.

"Trump's decision is like adding fuel to the fire," said JI Emir Siraj-ul-Haq.

"The United States President is putting world peace at risk with this decision," he added.

His decision was widely criticized by the international community as well.
