Cairo to host Arab League emergency meeting on Gaza

The Egyptian capital of Cairo will host an emergency meeting of the Arab League on Monday.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Egyptian capital of Cairo will host an emergency meeting of the Arab League on Monday.

The meeting will discuss the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza, said Palestinian Ambassador to the Arab League, Manduh Al-Aqaluq.

It will be held at the Arab League headquarters under the chairmanship of Morocco, the current president of the Arab League.

The meeting was requested by the Palestinian Authority and supported by a number of Arab countries. It is aimed at discussing Israeli crimes and plans against the Palestinian people.

The meeting will also focus on the escalation of Israeli crimes in the occupied West Bank, the systematic destruction of Palestinian refugee camp infrastructure, the daily raids on dozens of Palestinian cities, villages, and camps, and the Israeli blockade of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Al-Aqaluq expressed hope that the meeting will produce political, legal, diplomatic, and economic steps that can be taken or supported within the framework of the Arab League.

The meeting comes after the Israeli military launched a devastating war on the Gaza Stip on October 7, 2023. The war has killed more than 24,700 Palestinians, injured 62,108, and caused a humanitarian crisis. About 1.9 million people, or more than 85 percent of the population of Gaza, have been displaced, according to Palestinian authorities and the United Nations.
