The Palestinian Authority has recalled its envoys to Romania, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria after their ambassadors attended an Israeli reception marking the US embassy s move to Jerusalem, it said Wednesday.
The statement from the PA s foreign ministry said the EU nations ambassadors had attended the reception the day before the US opened its Israel embassy in Jerusalem on Monday.
The embassy move and Washington s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has deeply angered Palestinians, who see the Israeli-annexed eastern sector of the city as the capital of their future state.
