Cairo, June (پاکستان پوائنٹ نیوز 16 يونيو 2026ء) In a statement issued by the Palestine and Occupied Arab Territories Sector, the Arab League said the move further entrenches the illegal occupation and forms part of attempts to alter the legal, historical, and demographic status quo of Jerusalem and isolate it from its Palestinian surroundings. It stressed that such measures are null and void and carry no legal effect.
The Arab League reiterated that East Jerusalem is an integral part of the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. It also reaffirmed its commitment to the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of an independent state along the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The organization further reaffirmed its support for the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia and rejected any measures that undermine those principles. It called on the international community to uphold its responsibilities in preserving the legal and historical status quo of Jerusalem and preventing attempts to impose a new reality or legitimize the Israeli occupation and its illegal practices.
The Arab League stressed that establishing diplomatic missions in occupied Jerusalem or recognizing the city as a location for foreign missions violates the international consensus regarding the city's status. It added that such actions undermine efforts to achieve a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution and international legitimacy resolutions.
