The Secretary-General of the Arab League said that the Arab Islamic Summit seeks to convey to the whole world a clear message that the situation can no longer tolerate silence, and that silence on these “massacres” committed by Israel against the Palestinian people is tantamount to “participation in the crime.”
Aboul Gheit added, during his speech at the opening session of the ministerial preparatory meeting for the extraordinary joint Arab-Islamic summit, that the summit seeks to convey to the world “that all the pressures exerted on the occupation to stop the war machine were not enough,” and that the world “will not tolerate these fires that it ignites.” “Israel’s leaders” in the region to achieve their internal political goals.
The Secretary-General of the Arab League affirmed his confidence that the summit would represent a message of support for the Palestinians and Lebanese, “support for the heroic steadfastness of the Palestinians on the ground and support for their rights that no one can neglect or give up,” stressing that “there is no alternative to the two-state solution and the state will not be The Palestinian Authority, except for the West Bank and Gaza together, is complete and undiminished. It is a state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
He stressed that the summit’s message to the world is that stopping the war in Gaza and Lebanon “has become a humanitarian duty for all people of conscience” and also a security and strategic necessity so that the entire region does not slide into an unknown fate.
Aboul Gheit expressed his hope that the Arab Islamic Summit would convey the voice of the Arab and Islamic worlds loud and clear, after a year and more of the “random killing” practiced by Israel, and “revenge and senseless collective punishment without any plan other than destruction,” considering this year as “a year.” Of helpless silence or timid pleas.”
The Secretary-General of the Arab League said that the “Gaza tragedy” would take years, if not decades, to recover from, and today the circle of fire has expanded to another Arab country burdened by its own crises, Lebanon, with “the increasing threat of igniting a comprehensive explosion in the region due to regional confrontations.”
He explained that the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Liaison Committee, headed by Saudi Arabia, sought, over a whole year, to knock on every door and to use every possible means to stop this brutal Israeli aggression against our people in Gaza, and over the course of this year, the positions of many international powers changed, and in principle they surrendered to Israel’s logic, until She saw the occupation produce a very bloody face, and she realized – too late – the real plan to eliminate Palestine.
He added that “the plan of ethnic cleansing and displacement led by the Israeli right” refuses to reveal a “uglier” face every day, so that its latest “legally invalid and morally deficient” decision to ban UNRWA reveals the depth of the plan to undermine everything related to the Palestine issue.

**Interview with Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the Arab League**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Mr. Aboul Gheit. You’ve recently spoken about the upcoming Arab Islamic Summit and the urgency of the situation regarding the violence in Israel and Palestine. Can you elaborate on the core objectives of this summit?
**Ahmed Aboul Gheit:** Thank you for having me. The primary objective of the Arab Islamic Summit is to deliver a resounding message to the global community: the ongoing massacres against the Palestinian people can no longer be ignored. Silence in the face of these atrocities is, in effect, complicity in the crime. We want to galvanize international attention and action to address this tragic situation.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned that previous pressures on Israel to cease hostilities have not been sufficient. What specific actions are you hoping the summit will inspire from the international community?
**Ahmed Aboul Gheit:** We intend for the summit to underscore the need for firm, coherent actions rather than mere expressions of concern. The world must actively engage to halt the cycle of violence. Murder and destruction carried out under the guise of political objectives must not be tolerated, and we will highlight the human and moral imperative of stopping the conflict in Gaza and Lebanon.
**Interviewer:** You’ve also emphasized the steadfastness and rights of the Palestinian people. What do you believe is the key to achieving lasting peace in the region?
**Ahmed Aboul Gheit:** The key lies in recognizing the two-state solution as the only viable path forward. This solution calls for a sovereign Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. It is essential that any dialogue respects the integrity of this vision and supports the rights of both Palestinians and Israelis to live in peace and dignity.
**Interviewer:** Lastly, what message would you like to convey to those watching this interview, especially those who might feel hopeless about the situation?
**Ahmed Aboul Gheit:** I would implore everyone, especially those of conscience, to stand with the Palestinian people during this dire time. The message from the summit will be one of unwavering support for their rights and an urgent call to action—the time for apathy has passed. We must unite in our efforts to end the violence and pursue a just peace for all. Thank you.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Mr. Aboul Gheit, for shedding light on these critical issues. We look forward to the outcomes of the summit.
