"content": "There was an intriguing issue that the IPU discussed on the consequences of the USA declaration on Jerusalem and the rights of Palestinians people in Jerusalem in light of the UN Charter Resolution submitted by the Palestinian, Kuwait, Bahrain and Turkey delegations. This is one area that has caught the attention of the entire world currently. The mere fact that the capital of Israel has been relocated to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv has caused a lot of uproar. But what surprised me during the IPU meeting is that the Kenyan delegation did not vote because we are part of the members of the non-aligned movement. I would have loved to see the stand of Kenyans when faced with this critical vote on whether they agree for the capital of Israel to be taken to Jerusalem or to remain in Tel Aviv. Jerusalem has special attachment to most religions of the world. The Jews believe that, that is where the Lord will land when he comes back to this world. The Al Aqsa Mosque is one of the precious symbols of Islam and Christians, where I belong, believe that Jerusalem is a holy place. So, we all have a special attachment to Jerusalem, but what was intriguing was how many nations especially the Islamic nations took the declaration by the US that Jerusalem hosts its embassy. It was very intriguing."
