Cairo: The Arab League Secretary-General Ahmad Aboul Gheit has strongly criticized statements made by the Israeli Prime Minister concerning the transfer of Palestinians to Saudi Arabia. These comments have sparked significant backlash from the Arab League, highlighting ongoing tensions and disagreements over the future of Palestinian territories and the broader geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Aboul Gheit expressed that the Israeli Prime Minister's comments are disconnected from reality and lack logical foundation. In a press release, he emphasized the Arab League's stance that the establishment of Palestine should occur on its historical lands occupied in 1967. This includes East Jerusalem as its capital and encompasses the West Bank and Gaza Strip as integral parts of the Palestinian territory, rejecting any notion of separating these areas.
The Arab League's condemnation underscores the regional body's unwavering support for a two-state solution based on pre-1967 borders, a position consistently advocated by the organization in international forums. Aboul Gheit's remarks also reflect broader Arab world sentiments regarding Israeli-Palestinian relations and the desire for a peaceful resolution that respects Palestinian sovereignty and territorial integrity. The statements made by the Israeli Prime Minister are seen by the Arab League as unrealistic proposals that do not contribute to the peace process.
