Austria: Pax Christi Austria calls on Austria to recognise Palestine as response to Trump's movement of US embassy to Jerusalem


Pax Christi Austria has released a statement on response to U.S. President Trump's announcement regarding moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. In response, Pax Christi Austria calls for recognition of the state of Palestine by Austria. The statement begins:
