The Foreign Ministers of the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Türkiye, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Republic of Indonesia, the Republic of Djibouti, the Federal Republic of Somalia, the State of Palestine, the Republic of the Sudan, the Republic of Yemen, the Lebanese Republic and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania condemn in the strongest terms the illegal and unacceptable step taken by the so called “Somaliland” region in opening a purported “embassy” in occupied Jerusalem.

The Ministers condemn this as a flagrant violation of international law and relevant international legitimacy resolutions, which directly undermines the legal and historical status of occupied Jerusalem.

The Ministers reaffirm their complete rejection of any unilateral measures aimed at entrenching an illegal reality in occupied Jerusalem or granting legitimacy to any entities or arrangements that contravene international law and relevant United Nations resolutions. They reiterate that East Jerusalem is occupied Palestinian territory since 1967, and that any measures seeking to alter its legal and historical status are null and void and carry no legal effect.

The Ministers also reaffirm their full support for the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia, and reject any unilateral actions that undermine the unity of Somali territory or infringe upon its sovereignty.
