The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed on Tuesday the joint statement from the recent high-level international conference on the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue that was co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France on Monday.
In a statement, MWL Secretary-General Sheikh Dr. Mohammad Al-Issa congratulated the Kingdom and other nations on the conference's great success, highlighting the unprecedented international commitments that resulted from the meeting, including historic official recognition of the Palestinian state.
The conference led to the adoption of the New York Declaration, which received exceptional support with 142 votes from the UN General Assembly earlier this month. This, according to Al-Issa, consolidated the unwavering international commitment to the two-state solution and charted an irreversible path to building a better future.
Al-Issa expressed the MWL's appreciation for Saudi Arabia's steadfast position on the Palestinian issue, citing the tireless and pivotal efforts of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
The conference's success represents a victory for justice and a decisive historical shift in the course of the Palestinian issue, he stressed.
