S2J NEWS:ITALY COURT RULES AGAINST JERUSALEM AS ISRAELI CAPITAL
November 26, 2024An Italian court has ruled that the occupied Palestinian city of al-Quds cannot be recognised as the “capital” of Israel, reaffirming that such a designation would violate international law. The ruling was grounded in global legal principles.
The Rome Court stated that acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel’s capital would contradict Italy’s commitment to ‘peace and neutrality,’ as well as ‘its obligations to support a fair resolution’.
Pro-Palestinian organisations and human rights advocates hailed the ruling, seeing it as a reinforcement of international legal standards that uphold Palestinian rights. They argued that unilateral recognition of al-Quds as Israel’s capital undermines peace prospects and legitimises Israeli actions in occupied territories.
