The Palestinian National Council considers any American recognition of the occupied City of Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli occupation state or the transfer of its embassy it, is void and illegal. It is a blatant aggression against the rights of the Palestinian people in the capital of its Palestinian State.

The Palestinian National Council (PNC) said in a press statement issued Sunday by the PNC Chairman, Saleem Alzanoon "That the attempt to undermine the legal and political status of the occupied Palestinian City of Jerusalem imposes on the UN Security Council and the United Nations an urgent responsibility to protect its decisions regarding the rights of the Palestinian people in the city of Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state as stipulated in International resolutions and the latest UN resolution 2334".

The PNC stressed that it is the duty of the United Nations in accordance with its Charter and the duty of the countries of the world to protect the security and stability in the world that will be buried in the event of continued persistence of some great powers meddling the fate of the people and their rights guaranteed by international legitimacy, especially in light of the news being circulated by the media that the American Administration intent to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli occupation state or transfer its embassy to it.

The PNC called upon all parliaments, regional and international parliamentary associations and the free world to declare their stance openly and stand up to justice, peace and the rights of the people, and to face this aggression and condemn it, those are represented by policies and practices that will lead to igniting further chaos and instability in the Middle East. Specifically, imposing incomplete solutions on the Palestinian people that does not meet the minimum rights stipulated in the resolutions of international legitimacy.
