The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation strongly condemned the opening of an embassy by the so-called “Somaliland” in occupied Jerusalem, affirming that this measure is illegal and constitutes a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations and its relevant resolutions.

The General Secretariat affirmed that Israel—the Occupying Power—has no sovereignty over Occupied Jerusalem and that all decisions and measures aimed at altering its political, legal, or demographic status are null and void under international law.

The General Secretariat reaffirmed its full solidarity with the Federal Republic of Somalia and its unwavering support for its national sovereignty and territorial integrity, calling on the international community to take a firm stance against this illegal move and to counter it. – OIC News
