Arab League plans meet to condemn Israel over Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleArab foreign ministers are to hold an “extraordinary” meeting Thursday in Cairo to discuss the deadly violence on the Gaza-Israel border, the organization says.
Permanent delegates to the Cairo-based Arab League met on Wednesday to prepare for the ministerial session called by Saudi Arabia on “the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.”
“A draft resolution will be presented” Thursday to foreign ministers, Hossam Zaki, the League’s deputy secretary-general, tells reporters in the Egyptian capital.
He says it will contain “the strongest political positions… in support of the Palestinian resistance and against the American decision” to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
