AMMAN — The Lower House hailed the Australian government’s decision to stop moving its embassy to occupied Jerusalem, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.اضافة اعلان

The House said in a statement on Wednesday that the decision reflects the Australian government’s commitment to international legitimacy, and to Security Council resolutions related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, specifically the two-state solution.

The House views this step as an affirmation that the Zionist occupation lacks legitimacy, and that occupied Jerusalem is the capital of an independent Palestinian state on national Palestinian soil, the statement said.

The House also affirmed Hashemite custodianship over Jerusalem’s Islamic and Christian holy sites, and reiterated Jordan’s “firm” position vis-à-vis the Palestinian people and their right to establish an independent state.

The House also expressed its appreciation to the Australian government and people for this “courageous” step.
