The Arab League calls on the world to compel Israel to halt its aggression

The General Secretariat of the League of Arab States (Palestine and Occupied Arab Territories) commemorates the 58th anniversary of the Naksa (Naksa), which marked a tragic turning point in the Arab-Israeli conflict following the 1967 Israeli aggression, which resulted in the occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

The Arab League affirmed that the repercussions of this aggression continue to this day and are clearly evident in the bloody war waged by Israel against the Palestinian people for more than 600 days, particularly in the Gaza Strip, where the attacks have resulted in the deaths of more than 200,000 people, the majority of whom are women and children, in addition to the forced displacement of approximately two million Palestinians.

The League warned against the escalation of the occupation's expansionist colonial policies and its grave violations of international law and international humanitarian law, including through illegal settlement construction, the demolition of homes, the confiscation of land, attacks on holy sites, and the imposition of a financial and political blockade on the Palestinian Authority.

The General Secretariat reiterated its call for the international community to implement relevant UN resolutions, most notably Resolutions 242 and 338, and to compel Israel to halt its aggression, open the crossings immediately, allow unimpeded humanitarian aid, and provide the necessary support to UNRWA.

It also called for effective international action to end the occupation and enable the Palestinian people to exercise their right to self-determination and establish their independent, sovereign state on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative.

The General Secretariat emphasized the importance of participating in the international peace conference scheduled to be held this month in New York, calling on countries that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to take this step in support of the two-state solution and to ensure peace and stability in the region.
