Arab League reaffirms full support for Palestine, rejects Israeli escalation

The Arab League has reaffirmed its full support for the Palestinian cause at all international forums, stressing its rejection of Israeli discriminatory practices and systematic escalation against the Palestinian Authority and people in cities and villages across Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.

This came during a meeting in Cairo between Ambassador Dr. Faid Mustafa, Assistant Secretary-General and Head of the Palestine and Occupied Arab Territories Department at the Arab League, and Ambassador Muhannad Al-Aklouk, Palestine’s Permanent Representative to the League. The two sides discussed recent developments and current challenges facing the Palestinian cause.

According to a statement from the League, the meeting reviewed the outcomes of Arab League Council decisions at various levels, particularly those from the 166th session held last September regarding the Palestinian issue and the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The statement added that the meeting addressed ways to coordinate joint efforts to follow up on the implementation of these decisions, with the aim of unifying efforts to defend Palestinian rights regionally and internationally.
