Israeli leaders plan to name a new Jerusalem train station after U.S. President Donald Trump, due to his recent decision to recognize the holy city of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

"I decided to call the new train station which will be established in the Jewish Quarter near the Western Wall and the Temple Mount in the name of President Donald Trump, because of his historical and brave decision to recognize Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish people, as the capital of the state of Israel and his intention to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem," Israeli Minister of Transportation Yisrael Katz, told CNN.

While supporters of Zionism and Israeli leaders hailed Trump's decision, Palestinians and the international community condemned the U.S. President's declaration.

Despite U.S. threats, the United Nations General Assembly issued a stern rebuke to Trump's decision, with about two-thirds of the assembly voting in support of a resolution against the declaration last week. Only nine countries – including the U.S. and Israel – voted against the resolution.

The vote followed a rebuke from the U.N. Security Council last Monday, which saw all its members, except the U.S., vote in favor of a similar resolution. Despite the 14 to 1 vote, the U.S. has veto power on the council – along with France, Russia, China, and the United Kingdom – meaning the resolution did not pass.

While a resolution from the U.N. General Assembly holds less weight than one passed by the U.N. Security Council, last week's vote clearly demonstrates where the majority of the world stands when it comes to Palestine and Israel.

The new train station is still just in the planning stage and would require an extension to Israel's soon-to-open high-speed rail line, according to CNBC. If the plan goes through, the line would extend to Jerusalem's Western Wall – a holy site for Jews.

Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the iconic wall earlier this year.

Such an extension would draw significant backlash, however, as it would require tunneling below central Jerusalem and the politically and historically sensitive Old City. 

Going ahead with the plan will likely draw outcry from the international community, which does not recognize Israeli sovereignty over East Jerusalem.

Israeli Transportation Ministry spokesman Avner Ovadia said the extension would cost an estimated $700 million and would take about four years to complete.

Police in Riyadh have arrested Saudi Salem Al-Zaharani after a video capturing him sexually abusing a domestic worker went viral online, Sabq news site reported. 

The arrest came just hours after the offender posted the video on social media on Wednesday. 

While it remains unclear when the incident happened, the footage sparked outrage on Twitter, leading thousands to call on authorities to take immediate action against Al-Zaharani. 

Many also pointed out that the young man had previously appeared in several Snapchat videos deemed "offensive," and "inappropriate." 

*The video of the assault is available online but we chose not to share it in line with our ethical standards.

"Riyadh police arrest the young man who sexually assaulted a domestic worker." 

"It's my right as a Saudi national to call for the arrest of this man. His actions defame our country."

"Great news, God bless them for arresting him."

"People say a woman who's sexually abused is to blame for being assaulted but this is just wrong. There are regressive, monstrous people who commit such actions regardless of what a woman does or doesn't do. I hope the punishment this young man receives is extremely strict." 

In September, King Salman issued a royal decree calling upon the kingdom's interior minister to draft a law that criminalizes sexual harassment and enforces penalties on perpetrators. 

Many are now calling on authorities to speed up the process of imposing the legislation, which is currently being drafted by Saudi authorities. 

In recent months, several cases of sexual abuse targeting domestic workers were reported in countries across the Arab world. 

These include the case of a Filipino domestic worker who was sexually assaulted by an Egyptian man in Riyadh. The man was later arrested by Saudi authorities. 

In another case of horrific sexual abuse, an Emirati man was tried in court after it was proven he had raped and sexually assaulted a Filipino domestic worker who worked for him. 

Speaking to StepFeed at the time, Lina, a Dubai-based activist who works with abused domestic workers, explained that as shocking as the most recent reported cases are, they certainly aren't isolated.

"I don't think we'll ever have an accurate number of cases when it comes to domestic workers who are sexually harassed in the Arab world and the Gulf in specific. I know for a fact that there are hundreds, many of which go unreported," she said.

According to Human Rights Watch, "the experiences of less privileged groups - particularly domestic workers - including the pervasive threat of sexual assault, have largely remained invisible."

Speaking to several victims of sexual assault in the Gulf region, HRW unveiled shocking stories. 

Several women explained that their abusers often became violent when they rejected their advances, threatening to dismiss them or "make false claims to their wives that the women had seduced them."
