The Shura Council participated in the meeting of the Palestine Committee of the Arab Parliament, which was held today in preparation for the fourth session of the Arab Parliament within the third session of the third legislative term, scheduled for next Sunday at the headquarters of the League of Arab States. The Arab Parliament stated, in a statement, that the committee followed up, during its meeting, developments in the Palestinian cause, especially in light of the dangerous and unprecedented escalation against the Palestinian people in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, since the far-right government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu assumed power at the beginning of this year. In her intervention, Her Excellency Mrs. Sheikha bint Youssef Al-Jufairi, member of the Shura Council and member of the Palestine Committee of the Arab Parliament, referred to the council’s positions and statements condemning the repeated incursions by the occupation forces into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and to Palestinian cities and camps in the West Bank, and its call to all parliaments and the international community to condemn these attacks on the Palestinian people and their sanctities. . At the end of its meeting, the committee recommended submitting a draft resolution on developments in the situation in Palestine for approval by the Arab Parliament session next Sunday. The Committee condemned the escalation of aggression by settlers, which target cities and camps in the West Bank, attacking citizens and their property, and burning cities and homes, renewing its support for the Palestinian cause as the first and central cause of the Arabs. The Committee also strongly condemned the repeated incursions against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the city of Jerusalem under the protection of the occupation forces and the occupation government’s failure to comply with any previous commitments to calm, which falls under the name of the occupation authorities’ devotion to the temporal and spatial division of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Judaization of the city of Jerusalem, which represents a flagrant violation of freedom of worship. The Committee also condemned the Israeli occupation forces’ incursions into Jenin, Nablus and Hawara, the attacks on citizens, the burning of property, and the fall of martyrs and injured, calling on the international community and the Security Council to provide international protection for the defenseless Palestinian people. The Committee paid tribute and appreciation to the Arab and Palestinian people for their steadfastness, struggle and continuous struggle to regain their land and their inalienable and legitimate rights, foremost of which are the right of return, self-determination, the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, and the guarantee of the right of return of Palestinian refugees.
