CAIRO - SABA
The Chargé d'Affaires of Yemen's permanent representative to the Arab League Ali Mousa chaired the 162nd regular session of the Arab League Council at the ministerial level through a "silent procedure."

The meeting, which included the participation of Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League Ambassador Hossam Zaki, as well as permanent representatives and heads of delegations, issued resolution No. 9084 titled "The Continuation of Aggression Crimes, Genocide, Displacement in All Its Forms, and Starvation Committed by Israel Against the Palestinian People."
This resolution was prepared during the preparatory meeting of the permanent representatives on December 8, 2024.

All amendments and additions to this resolution were approved during the council's meeting at the level of representatives last Thursday, December 12, 2024.

The resolution emphasized the implementation of relevant Arab decisions aimed at stopping Israeli aggression, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the starvation of civilians in Gaza.

It also called for efforts to address the catastrophic humanitarian consequences. In this regard, it called for continued international support to adopt a resolution in the Security Council under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, obliging Israel, as the occupying power, to cease fire in Gaza and allow adequate and immediate humanitarian assistance to all areas of the sector, in accordance with the relevant Security Council resolution.

The resolution stressed the necessity of mobilizing international support to suspend Israel's participation in the UN General Assembly and its affiliated organizations. It considered Israel's ongoing aggression and the crime of displacement against the Palestinian people as a grave violation of international humanitarian law and established human rights concepts, constituting a crime against humanity.

This is part of a long series of systematic criminal practices against the Palestinian people, which constitutes an attack on Arab national security and a direct threat to regional peace and stability, necessitating comprehensive Arab and international responses through intensified political, economic, and legal action to stop Israeli aggression, break the siege, and deliver humanitarian aid immediately and without obstacles, as well as to activate relevant international resolutions to ensure the provision of international protection for the Palestinian people and to enhance their steadfastness on their land.

The resolution also supported the efforts of the ministerial committee emanating from the joint Arab-Islamic summit, chaired by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, formed under the resolution issued by the first joint Arab-Islamic summit on November 11, 2023.

Additionally, it supported the efforts of the international coalition to implement the two-state solution, launched by the ministerial committee in coordination with Arab and Islamic countries, in cooperation with the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway in September 2024 in New York, and held its first meeting in Riyadh.
