AL-ARABI: “UNSC ADOPTS DOUBLE STANDARDS WHEN DEALING WITH ISRAEL”
Al-Arabi referred to the US’ veto on resolutions obliging Israel to withdraw from the Arab lands occupied since 1967, WAFA, Palestinian News & Info Agency quoted by Mi’rj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.
He said the Arab countries decided to “change the way of dealing with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict; to work on ending the conflict instead of just managing it through managing the current negotiations slated to end on April 29.
He added talks are underway to examine extending the negotiations based on clear grounds to be set by the Palestinian leadership, which “will very soon take serious decisions in this regard.”
Al-Arabi made these comments in response to Arab parliamentarians’ questions on the latest political developments of the Palestinian cause and the human rights situations in the Arab World during the first hearing session of the Arab Parliament at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo.
According to Kuwait News Agency, speaker of the Arab parliament Ahmad Al-Jarwan stressed that, ‘the Arab Parliament will not stop supporting or exerting efforts to find a just and comprehensive solution to ]the Palestinian cause[.’
Assessing Israel’s current policies towards the Palestinians, he said its recent practices were ‘illegal’ and ‘an aggression on the Palestinian people and territories, particularly on Muslim and Christian holy sites in the occupied East Jerusalem.’
These acts violate relevant UN resolutions and international laws, he said, urging the international community to take action.
He also expressed solidarity with Palestinian prisoners detained in Israeli jails, calling on global human rights organizations ‘to do their best to defend them.’(T/P02/E01)
