The General Secretariat of the Arab League will mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, as recognized by the United Nations General Assembly, with an event at its headquarters on Sunday.

The event will bring together permanent representatives to the league, ambassadors, representatives of foreign countries, and Arab and international organizations to emphasize unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people in their pursuit of legitimate rights, SPA reported.
According to a statement issued by the General Secretariat on Thursday, several Palestinian and international personalities and institutions will be honored at the event in recognition of their solidarity with the Palestinian people, their support for the just Palestinian cause, and their efforts to confront the violations and crimes committed by the occupying forces.
The Arab League emphasized that this year's International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People comes amid ongoing acts of extermination and a brutal Israeli war of aggression lasting over a year. It called for unified international efforts to pressure Israel to cease its aggression and create a political path to end the occupation, achieve lasting peace, and establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

NATO said on Thursday that Jordan's King Abdullah will attend the first day of its foreign ministers' meeting scheduled for Dec 3-4 in Brussels, in the context of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, Reuters reported.

Israel and Hezbollah traded accusations on Thursday of violations of the ceasefire, which came into effect from Wednesday and was brokered by the United States and France.

King Abdullah participated in a meeting of the North Atlantic Council a little more than a year ago.
