Palestine vows UN punishment for Guatemala's Jerusalem decision
Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Saeb Erekat
RAMALLAH - Muslimchronicle
Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Saeb Erekat said on Wednesday that the Palestinian leadership will resort to the UN to "punish" Guatemala for its decision to move embassy to Jerusalem.
Erekat told official Palestinian radio station Voice of Palestine that Guatemala's decision is in breach of international law, the UN charter and the 12 UN Security Council resolutions related to Jerusalem.
The 1980 Arab League summit resolutions call for boycotts against any country that recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital or move its embassy to the city.
Last week, 128 states members of the UN voted in favor of a resolution that rejected any changes to the status of Jerusalem, targeting Trump's recent declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
