In the statement, they reaffirmed their “categorical rejection of any unilateral measure aimed at entrenching an illegal reality in occupied Jerusalem or conferring legitimacy on any entity or agreement that contravenes international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.”
They further reiterated that “East Jerusalem has been occupied Palestinian territory since 1967, and that any measure aimed at altering its legal and historical status is null and void.”
The statement also addressed the territorial integrity of Somalia, with the ministers emphasizing their “full support for the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia” and their “unequivocal rejection of any unilateral measures that undermine the unity of the Somali territory or infringe its sovereignty.”
