The Sri Lanka Committee for Solidarity with Palestinian People in a statement yesterday condemned unreservedly United States President Donald Trump’s announcement recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel and his decision to shift the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

“By this announcement, we believe the US President has killed the peace process. Besides, the US now lacks moral standing to play the role of an honest broker in the Middle East peace initiative. We strongly believe that a two-state solution is possible only within the framework of justice, with East Jerusalem as the ‘eternal capital’ of Palestine,” said the statement issued by The Sri Lanka Committee for Solidarity with Palestinian People Co-Chairman Imthiaz Bakeer Markar.

“We urge the US President to withdraw his announcement and redouble efforts to bring freedom, justice and peace to the holy land so that the Palestinians, both the Muslims and Christians, and the Israelis could live in peace and harmony,” it added.
