Oman calls on international community to stop escalation of violence in occupied Palestine

Oman has reaffirmed its firm position in rejecting and condemning all forms of violence and terrorism that target civilians and destabilise security.

In a Foreign Ministry statement, the Sultanate called on the international community to assume its responsibility to stop the dangerous escalation of violence in the occupied Palestinian territories, which has claimed the lives of Palestinian and Israeli civilians, including the latest attack that targeted civilians in a Jewish synagogue in East Jerusalem.

Oman reiterated its firm position which calls for the international community to secure a comprehensive peace and support the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders. This state should have East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the two-state solution, international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative
