Arab efforts to halt Slovenia's embassy move to Jerusalem and revoke Palestine recognition
The President of the Arab Parliament, Mohamed bin Ahmed Al-Yamahi, sent messages to a Slovenian and a European Parliamentarian, expressing his firm rejection of any attempt to freeze or withdraw recognition of the State of Palestine or to move the Slovenian embassy to occupied Jerusalem. Al-Yamahi urged both parliaments to maintain recognition of Palestine and to uphold the legal status of Jerusalem, warning that such steps could harm peace efforts and the two-state solution. These moves come amid increasing discussions in Slovenia about reviewing the recognition of Palestine and the transfer of the embassy to Jerusalem, despite the previous government having officially recognized Palestine in June 2024. The Arab Parliament emphasizes that recognizing the State of Palestine reflects the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, warning that withdrawing such recognition would weaken efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state and threaten overall peace initiatives. It particularly stresses that relocating the embassy contradicts United Nations resolutions and international consensus. Furthermore, Al-Yamahi called on the European government to utilize its diplomatic tools to support Palestinian rights, reaffirming the importance of adherence to international law, especially in light of the advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice in July 2024, which warns against occupation policies in Palestinian territories. It is noted that Slovenia was among the few countries to express support for Palestine, and the Arab side is concerned that any reversal could open the door for reconsidering other recognitions and undermine the international stance supporting the two-state solution.
