Arab League doesn't do anything against Brazil moves to recognize Jerusalem



Today the Arab League held an emergency meeting to discuss reactions to Brazil's opening up a trade office in Jerusalem and their announced intentions to open an embassy there.

The draft resolution from the meeting shows that no real moves have been agreed upon.

The statement condemns the opening of the trade office, calls it illegal, it said it would "seriously harm Arab-Brazilian political, economic and diplomatic interests," it called on member states to summon their respective ambassadors from Brazil, and similar pronouncements.

It did not call for any concrete action, like closing embassies in Brazil or cutting off relations.

Even though very few nations have opened up embassies in Jerusalem, each one makes it that much easier for the next. And Brazil has said it will try to convince other South American countries to follow its lead.
