The 121st session of the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) kicked off in Jeddah on Tuesday.
The two-day event is chaired by Saudi Arabia and 22 Arab countries are taking part.
In light of the exceptional circumstances faced by the Palestinian people, the council strongly condemned the brutal war on Gaza that has claimed the lives of thousands of civilians and destroyed infrastructure and educational and cultural institutions.
The council stressed its absolute rejection of the ongoing Israeli assault, occupation, and forced displacement of the people of Gaza.
Hosted by the Saudi National Commission for Education, Culture, and Science, the meeting will address a number of topics and initiatives to promote knowledge and innovation in the Arab world.
