The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign in Gaza addressed international institutions and legal personalities to express their opposition to the execution of a fisherman and their refusal to transfer any foreign embassy to Jerusalem.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its firm opposition to any attempt to transfer the American embassy or other embassies to Jerusalem as the capital of the Occupation state warning, at the same time, that such a move would have serious implications for the security situation in the region.

Series of letters addressed to the United States consul general in Jerusalem, Donald bloom, United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres and the European Union foreign policy commissioner Federica Mogherini.

The Foreign Affairs said that the transfer of any Foreign Embassy to Jerusalem is in contravention of United Nations resolutions declaring that Jerusalem is a part of the occupied Palestinian territory. Although no decision has been taken by the U.S. administration on the matter, the U.S. bears the responsibility and the consequences of moving to the embassy.
