Hanoi:The Council of the League of Arab States is set to hold an extraordinary session at the level of permanent representatives on Tuesday to discuss mechanisms for providing international protection for the Palestinian people and ensuring adherence to international law and relevant resolutions regarding Jerusalem's legal status.
According to Qatar News Agency, the session is being convened in response to a request from the State of Palestine to the Arab League's General Secretariat. The discussion will focus on ways to mobilize Arab and international efforts amid increasing assaults by Israeli occupation forces and armed settlers against Palestinians and their properties, actions that are reportedly supported by the occupying government and its military.
Palestine's Permanent Representative to the Arab League, Muhannad Al Aklouk, emphasized that the request for the session is driven by escalating assaults from occupation forces. These forces are allegedly following a systematic policy aimed at displacing Palestinian communities, expanding settlements, and undermining the viability of a two-state solution.
The meeting will also address acts of violence targeting occupied Jerusalem and concerns over its international legal status, especially in light of decisions by some countries to open embassies in the city.
