The Association of Secretaries-General of Arab Parliaments condemned the dangerous escalation in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jerusalem.
In a statement issued today, the Association, which is headed by the State of Qatar, expressed its deep fear and concern about the developments in the occupied Palestinian territories since Saturday morning, and said that it will inevitably lead to more violence and unrest in the region.
The Association stressed that what is happening is a result of the ongoing Israeli violations of the rights of the Palestinian people, the latest of which is the repeated incursions into the courtyards of the blessed Al Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the Israeli police.
The Association of Secretaries-General of Arab Parliaments appealed to the international community and active parties to support peace efforts and to immediately intervene to stop the violations committed by the Israeli occupation government and provide international protection for the Palestinian people from attacks by extremist settlers.
The statement of the Association of Secretaries-General of Arab Parliaments renewed its demand that the brotherly Palestinian people enjoy their legitimate rights, especially the right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
