The Arab League emphasized the urgent need for comprehensive measures, support mechanisms, and assistance to mitigate the severe impact on Palestine's education sector due to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday.
The Assistant Secretary General and Head of the Palestine and Occupied Arab Territories Affairs Sector, Ambassador Saeed Abu Ali, highlighted this call during the emergency meeting of the Council of Educational Affairs for the Children of Palestine at the Arab League's headquarters.
Ambassador Abu Ali underscored that the education sector has been one of the primary targets of the Israeli assaults, resulting in catastrophic human and material losses across both public and private education institutions, as well as UNRWA schools.
He noted that many of UNRWA schools have been converted into shelters that were not spared from destruction, endangering the lives of the civilians taking refuge in them.
Palestinian Minister of Education and Higher Education, Amjad Barham, echoed these concerns, noting that the Israeli occupation aims to undermine the future of the Palestinian people by systematically targeting educational institutions.
He reaffirmed that the Palestinian people remain steadfast in their belief in the right to education, considering it a fundamental and non-negotiable right.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) reported that their delegation held “crucial” talks late Saturday and into Sunday in Geneva about the “escalating situation in Sudan and the strategies for peace and stability.”
The RSF delegation met separately with the African Union, led by Mohamed Ibn Chambas, and with Saudi Arabian representatives.
They expressed “deep appreciation” for international efforts to promote peace in Sudan, emphasizing that their presence in Geneva shows the RSF’s “sincere commitment to ending the conflict and easing the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.”
The RSF also accused the Sudanese Armed Forces of refusing ceasefire talks and prolonging the conflict, citing internal divisions and influence from remnants of the former regime.
As for peacemaking efforts, the RSF delegation thanked Saudi Arabia for its “persistent efforts to promote peace and stability in Sudan” and for playing a key role in the Jeddah talks that led to the Geneva negotiations.
The delegation also highlighted Saudi Arabia’s substantial humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict, delivered through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center.
The RSF reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring the “unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid across Sudan.”
US Special Envoy to Sudan, Tom Perriello, stated that discussions with the RSF are ongoing.
Meanwhile, Washington continues to engage in phone talks with Sudan’s Sovereign Council Chairman and Army Chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, in an effort to encourage his participation in the negotiations.
Talks are scheduled to resume on Monday after a two-day pause, though mediators have yet to receive confirmation of the Sudanese Armed Forces’ participation.
