Islamic Christian Commission condemns Australia’s recognizing of West Jerusalem as Israel's capital
Al-Anbat -The Islamic Christian Commission for supporting Jerusalem and Holy sites said Australia's recognition of West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, is "null and void and a dangerous step in which Australia violates international law".
The commission warned in a statement on Sunday of the consequences of such irresponsible decisions that undermine security and stability.
Secretary-General of the commission Hanna Issa said in the statement that "this recognition makes Australia a partner in all Israeli violations against the right of the Palestinian people to their land and self-determination".
He pointed out that all UN resolutions on Jerusalem affirm that it is "an occupied Palestinian city, all Israeli actions are illegal and that Israel must withdraw from the city unconditionally."
Issa explained that the United Nations, whether the General Assembly or the Security Council and its other bodies, have always considered East Jerusalem part of the occupied territories.
