Arab League: The Riyadh summit is a message that the situation in Palestine and Lebanon can no longer tolerate silence

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.
