Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on 15 October 2026 condemning Colombia's reported opening of an embassy in Jerusalem. The ministry characterized the move as contrary to international law and cited United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 of 1980.
The Qatari statement rejected measures that it said would change Jerusalem's legal or historical status and called for international efforts to uphold Palestinian rights. This account reports the ministry's formal diplomatic position; the following day's multinational statement is a separate development.
