Arab League secretary-general Ahmed Aboul Gheit rejects any displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and West Bank, calling it “unacceptable” for the region.
“The focus today is on Gaza and tomorrow it will shift to the West Bank with the objective of emptying Palestine of its historical inhabitants,” he asserts at the World Governments Summit in Dubai.
“It’s unacceptable for the Arab world, which has fought this idea for 100 years.”
Aboul Gheit is commenting on US President Donald Trump’s plan to move Palestinians out of Gaza, which has been widely condemned in the Arab world.
“After resisting this for 100 years, we Arabs are not about to capitulate in any way now because we have not suffered a political, military or cultural defeat,” he says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
