The Arab Parliament condemned on Friday Israel’s latest aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

It slammed it for targeting innocent civilians, claiming the lives of dozens of victims.

It held Israel responsible for the consequences of this “dangerous escalation against the Palestinian people.”

It denounced it for carrying out strikes “against civilian locations in blatant defiance of international law and violation of the United Nations Charter and international treaties.”

It called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop the escalation and protect civilians.

The permanent delegates to the Arab League will convene an extraordinary session on Sunday, chaired by Yemen, in response to a request from Iraq.

Arab League Assistant Secretary General Ambassador Hossam Zaki said on Saturday that the meeting will focus on a memo from the UN Security Council president, which contains the Israeli occupation's claims of increased attacks from Iraqi territory since September, SPA reported.

"The General Secretariat of the Arab League received Iraq's request to hold an extraordinary session of the Arab League Council.”

“The request was circulated among member states for consultation, and it was agreed to hold the meeting tomorrow at the General Secretariat," Zaki said, adding that several Arab countries have expressed support for Iraq's initiative.
