Arab Summit in Algiers: Palestinian President calls for creation of Arab ministerial committees to support Palestine
ALGIERS-The President of the State of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas called Wednesday during the 31st Arab Summit in Algiers for the creation of two Arab ministerial committees to support Palestine at the international level.
Speaking on the second day of the Arab Summit, President Abbas called for the creation of two Arab ministerial committees, "the first of which would be responsible for exposing, internationally, the practices of the Zionist occupation and explain the Palestinian position," and the second would work to implement the Arab peace initiative and help Palestine achieve full membership in the United Nations (UN).
The Palestinian president also urged Arab leaders to support the holding of an international summit for peace based on international legality and to provide international protection for the Palestinian people in addition to the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (protection of civilians), General Assembly Resolution 181 (Palestine partition plan) and General Assembly Resolution 194 (which emphasizes the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and recover their property).
President Abbas sought the support of Arab leaders for the creation of a legal commission to prosecute the non-applicable crimes committed against the Palestinian people since the Balfour Declaration (1917).
The State of Palestine will challenge the relationship with the Zionist entity, which is undermining the two-state solution, disregarding signed agreements, and continuing its unilateral practices, he said.
"This situation leaves us no choice but to review this relationship, implement the decisions of the Palestinian National Councils, resort to international courts and join other international organizations to protect the rights of the Palestinian people,” he stressed.
On this occasion, the Palestinian president thanked the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, and through him the Algerian people, for holding this summit in Algiers to strengthen solidarity and joint Arab action.
"We support Palestine until the achievement of the expected goals," said President Tebboune after the speech delivered by President Abbas.
