Arab foreign ministers search on Monday for ways to halt what one calls Israel’s “dangerous escalation” of violence against Palestinians.
“This emergency meeting comes with the dangerous escalation by the Israeli government, the settlers, the Jewish extremist groups, and the Israeli forces in the blessed city of Jerusalem,” United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan tells the meeting, the official Saudi Press Agency reports.
He chairs the gathering of the 22-member bloc, and says the Palestinian issue is key to peace and security in the region.
“We gather today to take a decision about what we can do to stop these crimes and violations,” the UAE minister says.
Arab League Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi urges the UN Security Council and others to work towards an end to the conflict, SPA reports.
