Cairo - Saba:
On Wednesday, the Arab Parliament called on the international community and the Security Council to take urgent and immediate action to halt the genocide in the Gaza Strip, provide international protection for the Palestinian people, support their legitimate struggle to establish their independent, sovereign state, and reject all illegal unilateral measures aimed at changing the geographic and demographic character of the Palestinian territories, particularly in Quds.
In a statement marking the 58th anniversary of the June 5, 1967, setback, the Arab Parliament affirmed that this painful event in the history of the Arab nation, which marked a turning point that left deep scars on the conscience of the Arab peoples, embodies the magnitude of the challenges facing the nation in its pursuit of regaining its legitimate rights.
The Parliament reiterated its firm affirmation that the Palestinian cause will remain the primary issue of the Arab nation, and that the right path to achieving security, stability, development, and social justice in the region and the world is to resolve the Palestinian issue and ensure that the Palestinian people attain their legitimate rights to freedom, independence, and the establishment of their independent state with Quds as its capital.
The Zionist enemy bears full responsibility for the continuation of the conflict in the region, as a result of its aggressive and systematic policies, the genocidal crime it is perpetrating in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Quds, the horrific crimes it is committing against civilians, the policy of starvation and siege, the repeated incursions into Palestinian cities and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the escalation of settlement activity to impose a new reality on the ground that violates international law and UN resolutions.
The Arab Parliament affirmed its continued parliamentary and diplomatic efforts in regional and international forums to support the Palestinian cause, expose the enemy's practices, and push for accountability for perpetrators of crimes before international courts.
