The Speaker of the Arab Parliament (AP), Adel bin Abdulrahman Al-Asoumi, confirmed that the AP will continue its diplomatic efforts at international forums to support the Palestinian cause.
During the meeting with the Palestinian Minister of Women’s Affairs, Mona Al-Khalili, at the headquarters of the AP Secretariat General in Cairo, Al-Asomi also affirmed plans to continue communicating with regional and international parliaments and inter-parliamentary unions to stop the ongoing conflict waged by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people, SPA reported.
He renewed the AP’s support, assistance, and solidarity with the Palestinian people to achieve their legitimate rights, in accordance with the resolutions of international legitimacy, topped by the establishment of an independent state with the city of Jerusalem as its capital.
In turn, Al-Khalili briefed Al-Asoumi on the latest developments in the State of Palestine, citing the conditions of Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip, praising the efforts of the AP to support Palestine at all Arab, regional and international levels.

OIC Condemns Continued Israeli Aggression on Palestine, Lebanon

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the ongoing and escalating Israeli military aggression on Lebanon, which has resulted in hundreds of martyrs and injured individuals and displaced nearly one million people.
The OIC held the Israeli occupation responsible for this dangerous escalation, which threatens the security and stability of the entire region, SPA reported.

It also called for increased solidarity with Lebanon and urged for the provision of urgent relief aid to enable the Lebanese government to respond to the displacement crisis caused by the brutal Israeli aggression.
The OIC also strongly condemned the continuing war crimes being committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip, including the latest massacres in the Nuseirat refugee camp and the city of Khan Yunis, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of innocent civilians.

The organization considered these actions part of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, which necessitates accountability and prosecution under international criminal law.
The OIC renewed its call on the United Nations Security Council to assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security, enforce its resolutions, impose an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, and put an end to Israel's continued violations of international law.
