Jordan, Arab, and Muslim nations condemn Somaliland’s opening of ‘embassy’ in occupied Jerusalem

Amman, May 24 (Petra) — The foreign ministers of Jordan, Indonesia,
Pakistan, Türkiye, Algeria, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia,
Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Lebanon, Egypt and Yemen “strongly” condemned
the illegal and unacceptable step taken by the so-called “Somaliland”
region to open a purported “embassy” in occupied Jerusalem.

In a joint statement, the ministers said the move constitutes a
“blatant” violation of international law and relevant international
legitimacy resolutions and represents a direct infringement on the
legal and historical status of occupied Jerusalem.

The ministers reiterated their “complete” rejection of any unilateral
measures aimed at imposing an illegal reality in occupied Jerusalem
or granting legitimacy to entities or arrangements that violate
international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.

Additionally, the FMs noted East Jerusalem has been occupied
Palestinian territory since 1967, adding that any measures seeking to
alter its legal and historical status quo are null and void and lack
legal effect.

The ministers also stressed their “full” support for the unity,
sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of
Somalia, rejecting any unilateral actions that undermine Somalia’s
territorial unity or sovereignty.
