Aboul Gheit stresses the centrality of the role of the Palestinian Authority and the necessity of ending the geographical and political division

Cairo – Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, stressed yesterday, Wednesday, the centrality of the role of the Palestinian Authority, stressing the need to end the geographical and political division that the Palestinians have suffered from for decades.

Yesterday, Wednesday, Aboul Gheit received a high-level delegation from the Fatah movement at the headquarters of the League’s General Secretariat, which included Mahmoud Al-Aloul, Vice President of the movement, Rawhi Fattouh, President of the Palestinian National Council, Azzam Al-Ahmad, member of the Fatah Central Committee, and Samir Al-Rifai, member of the Fatah Central Committee.

Spokesman for the League’s Secretary-General, Jamal Rushdi, said that Aboul Gheit listened to a presentation by Fatah leaders on developments in the situation, whether regarding the war on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, or the ongoing war that the Palestinians are exposed to at the hands of Israeli forces and armed extremist settlers in the West Bank.

During the meeting, Abu Al-Ghaith stressed the necessity of doing everything possible to achieve Palestinian reconciliation, giving priority at this stage to achieving a ceasefire and bringing aid into Gaza, then working as quickly as possible to create a path to a political settlement that leads to the establishment of a Palestinian state.

He pointed out that the geographical division that the Palestinians have suffered since 2007 only weakened their position, which was in Israel’s interest.

He added that the Palestinian National Movement is an umbrella umbrella for all trends, and that no one can deny the role of Fatah in the Palestinian struggle for decades, and that the path to embodying the Palestinian state passes through unifying ranks.

Abu Al-Ghaith expressed the Arab League’s support for the efforts made by the Palestinian Authority to seize the global momentum in support of Palestinian rights, stressing that the world has become more convinced of the inevitability of the Palestinians obtaining the right to self-determination in an independent state, following many had previously believed that the Palestinian problem might be managed. What is called “economic peace”.

Aboul Gheit also reviewed with the delegation the vision of the Arab League based on the contacts it conducted recently with a number of important international parties that are very close to recognizing the Palestinian state, stressing that recognizing the state and obtaining permanent membership in the United Nations is the correct approach to negotiating the final settlement.
