Muslim World League condemns Colombia's opening of embassy in occupied Jerusalem

The Muslim World League has condemned the Colombian government's decision to open an embassy in the city of occupied Jerusalem.

In a statement from its General Secretariat, Secretary-General and Chairman of the Association of Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, denounced the move, saying it contradicts the international position on the legal and historical status of Jerusalem and constitutes a violation of all relevant international laws and resolutions. He expressed total rejection of any measures aimed at entrenching an illegal reality in occupied Jerusalem or granting legitimacy to any entities or arrangements that contravene international law and related United Nations resolutions.
