الجامعة العربية تتصدى للإبادة.. إدانة قوية لجرائم إسرائيل ودعوة لمحاسبة دولية

The emergency meeting of the Arab League Council confirmed its rejection of the Israeli government's decisions and plans to impose complete military control over the Gaza Strip and to displace the Palestinian people after the approval of the "Cabinet." It condemned the crimes of aggression, genocide, and ethnic cleansing committed by Israel against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, including the city of Jerusalem.

This was stated in the resolution issued by the extraordinary session of the Arab League Council at the level of permanent representatives, which was held under the presidency of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and at the request of the State of Palestine and with the support of Arab countries, to discuss countering Israel's plan to reoccupy the Gaza Strip and impose complete control over it, according to a decision approved by the Israeli security and political cabinet.

The Arab League Council affirmed that the Israeli assaults and violations in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank constitute a breach of international law and international charters, and represent "a blatant aggression against all Arab countries and their national security and political and economic interests," posing a threat to security, peace, and stability in the region.

The Arab League Council renewed its call to protect the Palestinian people from genocide, displacement, and ethnic cleansing, and to prevent the liquidation of their central cause, in accordance with international legitimacy, international law, and relevant international and regional agreements, as well as the decision for collective defense and economic cooperation among Arab League member states within the framework of protecting the interests of member states and their sovereign decisions and legal obligations. The emergency meeting emphasized the necessity of implementing the decisions of the Arab and Islamic summits to break the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip and to ensure the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid convoys into the entire sector by sea and air, in cooperation and coordination with the United Nations and its specialized agencies, including UNRWA, and to affirm Israel's complete and total responsibility for the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip and to hold it accountable for the consequences thereof.

The Council called on the two Arab members of the Security Council (Algeria and Somalia) and the Arab group in New York to present a draft resolution in the Security Council under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter to compel Israel, the occupying power, to cease fire and allow the entry of sufficient and unconditional humanitarian aid into the entire Gaza Strip, to end the occupation, and to comply with relevant Security Council resolutions, and to impose international sanctions on it as its crimes and practices constitute a threat to regional and international peace and security. The Arab League Council emphasized the call for all countries to implement legal and administrative measures that include preventing the export, transfer, or transit of weapons, ammunition, and military materials to Israel, reviewing economic relations with it, and conducting national and international investigations and prosecutions against Israeli officials responsible for crimes against the Palestinian people.

The Council demanded that the international community, especially the United States of America, pressure Israel "to stop its aggression and crimes" against the Palestinian people, including "genocide, starvation, and displacement," and to end its illegal occupation, as it is the state most capable of achieving that.

The Arab League Council condemned Israel's use of starvation as a weapon of genocide in the Gaza Strip, which has led to the death of 200 Palestinian civilians from hunger, half of whom are children, and condemned the death traps set by Israeli forces as part of the so-called "Gaza Humanitarian Institution," which resulted in 1,500 martyrs and thousands of injured.

The Arab League Council emphasized the necessity of enabling the State of Palestine to assume full governance responsibilities in the Gaza Strip, as well as in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, with Arab and international support, and in a manner that ensures the unity of the system, law, and arms, within the framework of the political program of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the legitimate and sole representative of the Palestinian people.
