CAIRO, Wednesday, January 17, 2024 (WAFA) - Palestine's Permanent Representative to the Arab League, Ambassador Mohannad Aklouk, said that the State of Palestine has requested an extraordinary meeting of the Arab League at the level of permanent representatives to discuss the continuation of the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people for the past one hundred and three days.

He said that the requested meeting is expected to highlight Israel’s escalation of crimes in the occupied West Bank, including its systematic destruction of the infrastructure of Palestinian refugee camps, daily incursions, the killing and wounding of hundreds of civilians, the demolition of homes and the detention of thousands of Palestinians in inhumane conditions.

The meeting will also discuss Israel’s unprecedented Judaization policies in the city of Jerusalem.

Palestine requested the meeting early next week to also discuss Israel’s ongoing aggression on Gaza, which led to the forced displacement of around two million people of its population and a high civilian death toll.

He expressed hope that the meeting would result in political, legal, diplomatic and economic actions to confront the Israeli crimes, which can be done or supported within the League of Arab States and its member states.
