  "summary": "Eighteen Arab and Islamic countries, including Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, issued a joint statement on Friday strongly condemning Colombia's decision to open an embassy in Jerusalem. According to the Saudi Gazette, the foreign ministers of these nations, which also includes Palestine, Jordan, Indonesia, Türkiye, and Egypt, called the move a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions and a setback to international efforts to achieve a two-state solution.\n\nThe ministers stated that any attempt to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital or to alter its legal and historical status is null, void, and has no legal effect. The Saudi Gazette reported that the group specifically cited UN Security Council Resolutions 476 and 478, adopted in 1980, which reject attempts to change the character or status of the city and call on nations to withdraw diplomatic missions from it.\n\nThe Daily Times reported that Colombia officially opened the embassy on Wednesday, joining a small group of countries, such as the United States, that have taken the symbolic step.",
