On Saturday, Deputy Minister for International Multilateral Affairs and General Supervisor of Economic and Development Affairs Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Rassi, representing Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan, participated in a joint ministerial meeting of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) regarding Jerusalem. This meeting took place alongside the High-Level Week of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, currently underway in New York.
During the session, attendees discussed recent events in Jerusalem and emphasized the critical need to maintain the city's historical and legal status quo, as well as the sanctity of its religious sites. The group firmly rejected any attempts to change Jerusalem's Arab, Islamic, and Christian character. They also demanded an immediate end to Israel's ongoing breaches of holy sites within occupied Jerusalem.
The meeting further explored ways to strengthen cooperation between Arab and Islamic nations in protecting Jerusalem and safeguarding the legitimate interests of the Palestinian people. Participants highlighted the responsibility of the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to uphold international law and relevant resolutions that protect religious sites and maintain global legitimacy.
