The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has affirmed its ongoing support for the Palestinian cause, underscoring the need for Palestinians to gain their legitimate rights, including all occupied territories.
GCC Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi reiterated this firm position while speaking at "The State of the Arab World" dialogue session during the World Governments Summit 2025 in Dubai.
The Secretary-General of the League of Arab States Ahmed Aboul Gheit also participated in the session, SPA reported.
Albudaiwi stated that the Palestinian issue should be resolved in line with international and United Nations resolutions. He urged the international community to uphold its responsibility in supporting Palestinians and opposing any obstacles to their rights.
He also stressed the significance of diplomatic and peaceful efforts in reaching a comprehensive solution, advocating for an independent Palestinian state along the June 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital and addressing refugee rights as per the Arab Peace Initiative and related international resolutions.
