The Arab League has designated 60 Israeli organizations as part of the "Arab National Terror Lists," as announced by the Palestinian delegate to the Arab League, Mahnad Al-Aklouk.

The decision came during a meeting where the council also approved a list of 22 Israeli figures implicated in "endorsing the genocide" against the Palestinian people, setting the stage for legal actions against them.

In addition to these designations, the council agreed to boycott 97 companies and institutions operating within Israeli settlements, in line with the Human Rights Council's database. The Arab League now anticipates member states to implement these resolutions promptly.

The league also voiced its rejection of Israel's systematic incitement campaigns against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), urging nations that have frozen their funding to reconsider.

Following claims of UNRWA staff participating in a Hamas-led assault on Gaza border villages in October, several Western countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Italy, suspended their funding for the agency.

The council further called on Arab ministries and bodies related to childhood and motherhood to coordinate with international counterparts to provide medical and humanitarian aid to thousands of Palestinian children, especially those amputated or orphaned due to "Israeli aggression massacres."

Condemning the continuous Israeli crimes against Palestinians, targeting over 100,000 civilians resulting in deaths and injuries, and the ongoing lethal siege and systematic destruction in Gaza, the Arab League highlighted the dire situation in Rafah.

It warned against the forced displacement of nearly 1.5 million Palestinians to the southernmost parts of the Gaza Strip, close to the Egyptian border, as a systematic Israeli aggression, considering it an "assault on Arab national security."

The league called on the UN Security Council to adopt a binding resolution to halt Israeli aggression and forced displacement against Palestinians, ensure the flow of relief aid throughout Gaza, enforce the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice, and fully implement related Security Council resolutions on the Palestinian issue, specifically resolutions 2721 and 2720.
