In the light of the ... historical reality and Israel's defiance of will of the international community, as manifested by the prevailing situation in Al-Quds (Jerusalem), the Muslim World League would like to emphasize that, the recent decision of the US Congress to consider Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the eternal capital of Israel, apart from being a gross injustice, is detrimental to the credibility of the US attitude towards maintaining peace and security in the world.

Peace must be restored to the Holy City and its Muslim, Christian and Jewish inhabitants ...
