Nineteen Nations Condemn Colombia's Jerusalem Embassy
Forty officials of 19 countries, including Turkey, Algeria, and Malaysia, affirmed that Colombia’s decision to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem violates United Nations Security Council resolutions. They emphasized that this decision relies on a stance that continues to reject any changes to Jerusalem’s legal and historical status and jeopardizes international peace efforts. The ministers called on the Colombian government to reverse its decision and adhere to international law, reaffirming the Palestinian people's right to establish an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital. Colombia had previously announced its intention to move its embassy from Jerusalem in 1980 and had officially notified the United Nations of this plan in 2022, following international resolutions that reject recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the city.
