Mushahid Hussain Sayed of the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) termed the decision a sheer violation of the UN resolutions and international laws. He said the decision would have lasting effects on the whole region which would lead to war and create hatred. Rehman Malik said the US decision of recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel had dented interfaith harmony in the Middle East. The decision was aimed at promoting Israeli objective, which was even against the verdict of the International Court of Justice, he added.
