Palestine Calls for Emergency Arab League Session to Address Israeli Aggression

The State of Palestine has formally requested an emergency session of the Arab League Council at the level of permanent representatives, scheduled for Tuesday, to discuss political, legal, and diplomatic measures in response to what it described as “unprecedented and dangerous Israeli aggression” in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Palestine’s Permanent Representative to the Arab League, Ambassador Muhannad Al-Aklouk, said Monday that the urgent request comes amid what he called catastrophic conditions in Gaza, including a deadly blockade and widespread starvation. Al-Aklouk accused Israel of systematically using hunger as a weapon of genocide, deliberately targeting starving civilians gathering at aid distribution points.

“Nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed while waiting for food for their children and families,” he said, describing the situation as a deliberate attempt to impose famine under the guise of humanitarian assistance. “What is being offered in the name of relief is being weaponized against the Palestinian people under a false humanitarian cover.”

The session aims to coordinate a unified Arab stance and explore concrete steps to address the worsening humanitarian crisis and escalate efforts at the international level.
