Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said Sunday that the Palestinian cause is enduring “one of its most difficult moments,” accusing Israel of waging a two-year campaign aimed at “erasing a people from existence.”
In a statement marking the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Aboul Gheit said the war had “revealed the full extent of Israel’s brutality,” leaving children “stripped of safety, family and school, surviving among ruins.”
He warned that suffering has deepened across Gaza and the occupied West Bank, citing record settlement expansion, camp demolitions, and what he called “the highest level of settler terrorism in two decades.”
Despite the devastation, Aboul Gheit insisted that “the project of an independent Palestinian state has not died,” noting that 157 countries now recognize Palestine. He welcomed U.N. Security Council Resolution 2803 and the establishment of an international temporary force in Gaza, calling it “a critical step toward ending the occupation and enabling Palestinians to rebuild their lives.”
