Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit has strongly condemned Israel's publication of maps depicting Arab territories in Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria as part of its so-called historical claims.
In a statement, Aboul Gheit described the act as deliberate and alarming.

According to SPA, he emphasized that it reflects the Israeli government's deep entrenchment in right-wing extremism and religious fanaticism, and criticized the promotion of "historical myths" as facts.
He highlighted previous declarations by Israeli officials regarding their intent to annex the West Bank and expand settlements into Gaza, stressing that these maps reveal the government’s radical agenda, which threatens regional stability and peaceful coexistence.
The secretary-general urged the international community to take these provocations seriously, warning that ignoring such actions and statements risks inflaming extremist sentiments on all sides.
