The move comes in the wake of President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital last week.
“This [K-P Assembly] proposes to the federal government to utilise all diplomatic resources to prevent the US and Israel from taking such decisions with all Muslim countries unequivocally rejecting this move in Muslim countries’ summit and to boycott the US financially,” read the resolution, a copy of which is available with The Express Tribune.

The resolution, moved by Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) MPA Fakhr-e-Azam Wazir, stated: Recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is meant to hurt the sentiments of Muslims but the way Islamic countries have refused to accept the the US decision is commendable.
The US wants to divide and rule by making Muslims fight each other, it added.
"The way Pakistan has responded to the decision, depicted feelings of the nation. These decisions can only be rejected once Muslims are united," the resolution further read.
