AL Urges End to ‘Israeli’ Occupation
Local Editor
The Arab League [AL] issued its final declaration Wednesday calling for the formation of a sovereign Palestinian state with occupied East al-Quds as its capital.
It further emphasized the need for the resumption of stalled ‘Israeli-Palestinian talks to that effect.
The declaration, issued at the end of the League's annual summit in Jordan, Arab leaders called for the Zionist withdrawal from the occupied territories and the formation of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders as the only way to achieve peace.
The Arab leaders denounced all ‘Israeli' efforts aimed at changing the legal and historical situation of the holy Islamic and Christian sites in occupied East al-Quds and called on the world countries not to relocate their embassies to al-Quds or recognize the city as the claimed capital of the ‘Israeli' entity.
They were apparently referring to US President Donald Trump's controversial plans to relocate Washington's embassy from Tel Aviv to al-Quds/Jerusalem.
For his part, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who attended the summit through video conference, voiced support for a so-called two-state solution as the "only path to ensure that Palestinians and ‘Israelis'" can live in peace.
Addressing the summit, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas lashed out at the Zionist entity for undermining a two-state solution by "increasing settlement building and confiscation."
"Israel continues its schemes to take control of East ‘Jerusalem', to change its identity and character and not to respect the historical status of the holy sites of Islam and Christianity. ‘Israel' uses excuses to justify the continuation of its occupation, such as the demand to recognize it as a Jewish state. How long will this occupation and desecration of our holy places continue?" Abbas said.
Other Arab leaders speaking at the summit also called for concerted efforts to put an end to violation of Palestinians' rights by the ‘Israeli' regime.
