The 166th session of the Arab League Council commenced in Cairo today, with delegates from the Saudi delegation led by Permanent Representative Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al-Matar in attendance. The meeting, chaired by Tunisian representative Hashemi Al-Ajaili, Director General of Maghreb, Arab and Islamic Organizations at the Republic of Tunisia, focused on addressing pressing regional concerns and conducting committee elections.
The presidency was transferred from Bahrain, represented by Ambassador Fawzia bint Abdullah Zainal, to her Tunisian counterpart. Key topics discussed included the Palestinian issue, unlawful Iranian aggression against Arab states, and the appointment of committee chairs and judges. Ambassador Zainal emphasized the Palestinian cause as the paramount concern for Arabs, advocating for a Gaza ceasefire, humanitarian aid delivery, and Palestinian rights to an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
