Palestinians and Arabs oppose Colombia’s Jerusalem embassy
The opening of the Colombian embassy in Jerusalem sparked a wave of Palestinian and Arab condemnations, considering it a violation of international law and United Nations resolutions that emphasize Jerusalem’s eastern part as occupied Palestinian territory since 1967 and prohibit other countries from opening embassies there. Arab and Palestinian governments and organizations responded to this move by emphasizing that it reinforces occupation attempts to impose illegal facts on the ground and threatens the legal status of the city. They also called on Colombia to reverse its decision and to protect the legal and historical status of Jerusalem in accordance with international legitimacy. This announcement comes after the resumption of relations between Colombia and Israel, despite ongoing international disagreements over Jerusalem’s status.
