Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit condemned on Wednesday Iran for its official recognition of the Houthi militias and for transferring the Yemeni embassy in Tehran over to them.

This step is flagrant violation of diplomatic norms and blatant violation of the United Nations Charter, Vienna Convention and relevant Security Council resolutions, he said.

An official source at the Arab League said the move reflects Iranian “insistence in pursuing its hostile policy aimed at destabilizing Yemen, which will in turn threaten the security of its neighbors.”

The Arab League fully supports all legal and political measures the Yemeni government will take to counter Iran’s behavior, he added.

He stressed the importance of the UN Security Council assuming its responsibilities in this issue.

The Arab Parliament has condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, describing it as provocative towards the feelings of millions of Muslims around the world.
In a statement on Thursday, the Arab Parliament said that the Israeli minister's action represents yet another breach in the continuing series of violations committed by Israel against the Palestinian people and the Islamic and Christian holy sites in the occupied city of Jerusalem.
It rejected any attempts to undermine the historical and legal status of the holy sites in occupied Jerusalem as null and void, emphasizing that these attempts constitute a blatant violation of international law and pertinent UN resolutions, further exacerbating escalation, tension, and instability in the region.
The Arab Parliament urged the international community and the UN Security Council to put an end to the ongoing violations and attacks perpetrated by Israel against the sacred sites in Jerusalem.
