The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has recalled its ambassadors to four European countries to protest their participation in a party celebrating the opening of the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.

The ministry said Wednesday that its ambassadors to Romania, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria were being called home for consultations, foreign media reported.

The Palestinians, who seek Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem as their capital, strongly objected to the move of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

The European Union objected to the embassy move. But the four European countries criticized by the Palestinians broke with EU policy to attend the celebration. The Palestinians said they consider the participation a “grave violation of international law.”
