sible,Noting with concern the non-compliance of Israel with the above-mentioned reso-

the occupied section of Jerusalem;

tions taken by Israel to change the status of the City of Jerusalem, including expropri-
ation of land and properties, transfer of populations and legislation aimed at the in-
corporation of the occupied section, are totally invalid and cannot change the status;
4. Urgently calls upon Israel to rescind all previous measures and actions and to
take no further steps in the occupied section of Jerusalem which may purport to
