Amman Foster Arab Islamic Effort to Defend Jerusalem
The Arab and Islamic countries in Amman took a joint step to halt Israeli policies in Jerusalem through the launch of an integrated political and diplomatic initiative. This included establishing an institutional mechanism to document Israeli violations against Islamic and Christian holy sites in the city, with the aim of presenting them to international organizations and the global public opinion. The meeting affirmed rejection of Israeli policies aimed at changing the religious and urban identity of Jerusalem, considering them illegal. It called for effective international action to stop settlement expansion and land annexation. It also noted that the escalation in Jerusalem coincides with increased settler attacks on the West Bank and threats to regional stability. Furthermore, the meeting emphasized the need to protect holy sites and reject any decisions that alter their historical status, reaffirming support for the Hashemite guardianship over Islamic and Christian sanctities, given Jordan’s historic role in safeguarding these places. An agreement was reached to create a platform to document violations and support the resilience of Palestinians. Additionally, a ministerial meeting will be held in New York in September to follow up on developments and bolster the Palestinian cause internationally. The participants also called for concrete steps, including imposing sanctions and pursuing legal and diplomatic measures to halt Israeli expansion.
