-Jerusalem(Al-Quds), through history has been the hub and the nerve center of the Palestinian religious, cultural, social, economic and political life. The indigenous Palestinian people have been residing in the city since millennia. So as you could imagine, Al-Quds is indispensible for the Palestinians.

As well as underlining the importance of its deliverance from this occupation for peace in our region and world peace.

The World body has to stop dissecting and reassembling UN resolutions case by case, there has to be one law and one standard that fit all.
