The declaration rejects this unilateral decision, deems it null and illegitimate, and considers it an attack on the rights of the Palestinian people and a threat to peace and international security. Member states, governments, parliaments, businesses, and individuals with political or economic restrictions are urged to sever ties with those recognizing Israel's annexation of Jerusalem. The US government is held responsible for any repercussions from this illegal decision, and members are encouraged to increase their diplomatic and economic support for the Palestinian people.
