GLOSM/PARES does not recognize the territory, colonized by the Israeli entity since May 1948, as a state or country. This includes rejecting the entire city of Jerusalem as the capital of the entity. One cannot claim a land on the grounds of a religionized ideology, when no scientific evidence confirms the claim. In particular, when the claim was first made by people from another continent.

The Israelis are still a 'de facto annexing,' not occupying, belligerent of the West Bank and East Jerusalem since the end of the 6-day war in June 1967, as they never lifted the declaration of war against the Palestinians issued that year.

The UN has passed several resolutions concerning Al-Aqsa Mosque, notably UNSC Resolution 271 (1969) after the 1969 arson, calling on Israel to respect international law in occupied Jerusalem, and later resolutions emphasizing the need to preserve the historical status quo, protect holy sites, and ensure free access, often condemning Israeli actions that threaten peace and security, like excavations or restrictions. These resolutions consistently hold Israel responsible as the occupying power for maintaining the sanctity and accessibility of Al-Aqsa and other holy sites, calling for adherence to the Geneva Conventions and UN principles.

The Israelis have systematically violated these UN resolutions, which are de facto acts of delegitimizing the United Nations, while demanding that everyone recognize the legitimacy of the existence of the colonized territory as that of the Israelis.
