The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Colombian Chargé d'Affairs in Cairo to express Egypt's strong protest and categorical rejection of Colombia opening its embassy in the occupied city of Jerusalem.

A high-ranking Egyptian source confirmed that Egypt views this unilateral step taken by Bogota with extreme seriousness, stressing that the official Egyptian position is based on rejecting any measures that would change the legal or historical status of the city of Jerusalem.

The source described Colombia's decision as an unacceptable unilateral step, completely inconsistent with the existing legal and historical status of the Holy City, and representing a clear and clear violation of all relevant international legitimacy resolutions.

Cairo stressed during the recall process that such measures are considered “null and void and do not have any legal effect,” because they affect the historical and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.

Egypt warned that these irresponsible steps will have negative and direct consequences and repercussions on international and regional efforts aimed at achieving just and comprehensive peace and stability in the Middle East region.

The Egyptian source announced that the summons stressed the need to respect the legal and historical status of occupied Jerusalem, and to completely refrain from any unilateral measures that would undermine the chances of a peaceful settlement and undermine the foundations of the “two-state solution” as it is the only way to achieve security and stability in the region.
