The Arab League (AL) ministerial council on Sunday called on the Arab
countries to provide 100 million U.S. dollars per month for the
Palestinian authority to ease its financial pressures. A resolution by the pan-Arab body asserted the necessity to halt all forms of Israeli siege imposed over the Gaza strip. Regarding the new developments in Israeli-Palestinian peace process,
the ministerial council said that fair and comprehensive peace is the
only strategic choice, but it couldn't be achieved without full
withdrawal of Israel from the occupied Arab and Palestinian territories.
The council also noted the importance of establishing an independent
Palestine state with full sovereignty, asserting its rejection for all
forms of settlement and calling for reaching a fair solution for the
Palestinian refugees.
The resolution assured that resuming direct negotiations required
Israel to stop all settlement activities in the occupied lands including
east Jerusalem, adding that the council supported a plan submitted by
the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas over resuming negotiations
between the Palestinians and Israel.
The AL council underlined the importance of calls for holding an
international conference over the Palestinian-Israeli struggle to reach a
final settlement for their dispute over border, security and refugee
issues.
The resolution welcomed the results of the Palestinian national
reconciliation, and the recently reached Doha declaration to form an
interim government and take necessary arrangements for the upcoming
presidential elections.
