President Aoun calls for punitive measures against any state that recognizes Jerusalem as capital of Israel

President Michel Aoun assured on Wednesday during the Islamic summit in Turkey that “the decision made by US President Donald Trump in recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, took from the US the status of the Great nation working on finding solutions to achieve peace in the Middle East.”

He also pointed out that “if the UN does not address this decision, it is stepping down as the international authority that solves international conflicts according to the principles of justice and the International Law, identified in its Charter.”

“The reason for the UN’s existence would be defeated,” Aoun added.

President Aoun called for filing urgent complaints to the Security Council and the UN on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to disrupt the US decision in a bid to annul it.

 

In addition, he also called for the formation of a diplomatic campaign that aims to increase the number of countries that recognize the State of Palestine so that it can be also recognized as a full member state of the UN.

 

Aoun demanded “unified and progressive severe punitive measures, both diplomatic and economic, to be taken against any country that tends to recognize Jerusalem as capital of Israel.”
