Dead Sea, March 30 (RHC-Xinhua) -- Arab leaders on Wednesday urged all countries not to relocate their embassies in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and not to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The Arab leaders warned against unilateral measures by Israel that seek to change the situation in Jerusalem and impose new realities, according to the Amman Declaration announced at the conclusion of the 28th Arab Summit.

This call sends a clear message to the U.S. administration, especially since U.S. President Donald Trump said lately that the country was seriously considering relocating its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Stressing on the centrality of the Palestinian issue, Arab leaders stressed on the Arabic identity of occupied east Jerusalem, which they said is the capital of the Palestinian state.

The Arab heads of states renewed their commitment to the 2002 Arab peace initiative and voiced support for the Palestinians and their rights to statehood.

The peace deal offers Israel normal ties with the Arabs in return for withdrawal from territories it occupied in 1967.
