Jordan and 18 nations oppose Colombia's Jerusalem embassy
The foreign ministers of 18 countries firmly rejected Colombia's decision to open an embassy in Jerusalem, considering the move to be in violation of United Nations Security Council and General Assembly resolutions. They emphasized that such action undermines diplomatic efforts based on a two-state solution. The ministers stated that any measure altering the legal and historical status of Jerusalem, including recognizing it as Israel's capital, is invalid and not recognized internationally. They called for the withdrawal of diplomatic missions from the occupied city. Additionally, they urged the Colombian government to reverse its decision and adhere to international law, particularly regarding the rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
