The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the condemnation and denunciation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia regarding the Colombian government's decision to open a "embassy" in the occupied city of Jerusalem, in a blatant violation of international law and relevant international legitimacy resolutions, and representing a direct assault on the legal and historical status of the occupied city of Jerusalem. The ministry stated in a statement: "The Kingdom emphasizes that this step contradicts the established international position regarding the legal and historical status of the city of Jerusalem, and renews its call to the international community, including the Security Council and all concerned parties, to fulfill their legal and moral responsibilities, and to take urgent action to stop the illegal Israeli policies aimed at imposing a new reality by force, and undermining the chances of achieving a just and lasting peace.
