Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church headed by Pope Twadros II expressed on Wednesday its concern about U.S. administration’s decision to move U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
The U.S. decision is conflicting with all international covenants about Jerusalem, said the church in a statement, indicating that the decision will have negative consequences not only on the region, but also on the whole world.
The church called for the need to keep the legal situation of Jerusalem in accordance with the international terms of reference and the United Nations (UN) resolutions in this regard.
The Church stressed that it stands with efforts to advance peace, and calls for negotiations as the best way to achieve a just solution and comprehensive peace.
