For peaceful diplomatic relations, the Philippines has denied media reports of its embassy moving to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano said that a lot of things have to be considered before making decisions in diplomatic affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are for peaceful resolution of conflict\u2026 In diplomacy, unless there is an urgent situation, you don\u2019t just take a blind giant leap. You study all of these,\u201d Cayetano told GMA in an interview on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s going to be a balancing act. Plus there\u2019s so much history and context there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Cayetano clarified the issue in which an Israeli public radio broadcasted a report from a newswire that 10 countries are planning to move their respective embassies to Jerusalem \u2013 which included the Philippines.<\/p>\n

The Israeli and Palestinian conflict centers on who controls the historical city of Jerusalem. Transferring of an embassy to Jerusalem will signify a government\u2019s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Affairs Secretary mentioned that the Philippines supports a two-state solution in which the states of Israel and Palestine are to work side by side within secured and recognized borders.<\/p>\n

The issue of embassy transfer came into development after United States President Donald Trump made an announcement that his country is recognizing the disputed city as Israel\u2019s capital and when Guatemala confirmed plans of moving its embassy to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

However, the two-thirds of the United Nations (UN) member states rejected Trump’s decision and insisted that the conflict can only be settled through negotiations. The Philippines\u2019 stand on the issue was abstention, which Cayetano said was a highlight on sovereignty.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want any country to tell us where we can or can\u2019t put an embassy so we can\u2019t condemn the US for making that decision,\u201d he said in the same interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people will see abstain or not voting not a principled vote. But sometime that is the principled vote,\u201d he further said, stressing the majority of the 10 million Filipinos abroad that are based in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
