Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Abul Gheit expressed his total disapproval and strong opposition to any Israeli statements or positions that attempt to change the historical and legal status quo of Jerusalem or attempt to disrupt the status quo of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which limits the right to pray only to Muslims, which may threaten to spark a spiral of violence. Violence threatens security and stability in the region.
In today’s statement, Abul Gheit made it clear that talk of any alleged Israeli sovereignty over East Jerusalem and its Islamic and Christian holy sites is a flagrant violation of international law and a violation of resolutions that have international legitimacy that no one recognizes or recognizes.
The Secretary General of the Arab League stressed the League’s firm stance in defending the rights of the Palestinians and supporting the resilience of the Palestinian people, their leadership and institutions; In defense of East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state.
