CAIRO, Saturday, February 11, 2023 (WAFA) – President Mahmoud Abbas arrived today in Egypt’s capital, Cairo, where is scheduled to participate in a conference in support of Jerusalem at the headquarters of the Arab League.

Palestine’s Ambassador in Cairo and its permanent representative to the Arab League, Diab al-Louh, said the conference aims to internationalize the issue of Jerusalem and support the steadfastness of its Palestinian residents in light of Israel’s targeting of the city and its Islamic and Christian sanctities and its residents, as well as the increase in the pace of Judaization, especially after the formation of the far-right government that wants to destroy the two-state solution.

The international conference also aims to discuss ways to support the steadfastness of the Palestinians in the Holy City in terms of development and investment by presenting a study for financing development and investment projects proposed by the State of Palestine, which are estimated at between 25-30 projects in the health, education, housing and empowerment of women sectors.

Al-Louh expressed hope that the conference would culminate in the formation of a committee of Arab experts specialized in international law to provide legal advice on cases violated by the Israeli occupation forces and that this committee would meet periodically to discuss legal issues and violations in Jerusalem.
