The Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon said that the issue of Jerusalem is extremely sensitive for the Muslim world.
"The Old City of Jerusalem is a place of deep significance for the Muslim, Jewish and Christian faiths. It is our firm belief that the status of the Old City and the religious sites within it are extremely sensitive final status issues, that can only be resolved through negotiations," the UN Secretary General said in his reply to the urgent letter sent to him last week by the Director General of the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) Dr. Abdul Aziz Al Tuwaijri.
<>According to an ISESCO statement, the UN secretary general called upon the parties to apply the Security Council resolutions 242 and 428 and refrain from establishing or asserting facts on the ground.
Ban Ki-moon reaffirmed in his letter, which was signed on his behalf by Ibrahim A. Gambari, the Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, the universal value of the Old City of Jerusalem and the necessity to eschew actions that could lead to tensions. (ant/mad)
