The meeting concerns with the decision of US president, Donald Trump, about recognizing Jerusalem as a capital of Israel. According to Riad Mansour, Palestinian delegate to UN, it is expected that the general assembly will vote on decision project calling for withdrawal of Trump’s decision. USA used Veto last Monday against the decision in UN Security Council. Reuters indicated that Mansour hopes for wide support for the decision in the general assembly. Although it is not mandatory, the decision has a heavy political weight.
