Palestine Requests Arab League Emergency Meeting Over Israeli Decisions

CAIRO, Feb 9 (Bernama-WAM) -- Palestine’s permanent representative to the Arab League, Ambassador Muhannad Al-Aklouk, has submitted an urgent request for an extraordinary session of the Arab League Council at the level of permanent representatives to discuss recent decisions by the Israeli government.

According to Emirates News Agency (WAM), Al-Aklouk said in a statement on Monday that Israel’s decisions aim to expand settlement activities, demolish homes, seize private and public land, and transfer Hebron’s municipal responsibilities to Israel’s so-called Civil Administration. 

He said the measures also undermine the status and standing of the city’s Ibrahimi Mosque.

He stressed that the measures represent a continuation of Israel’s comprehensive aggression and a deepening of annexation and expansion policies, and called on Arab countries to take action at all levels to halt the decisions, warning that they threaten security and stability in the region.
