Cairo: Qatar joined an urgent gathering of Arab League leaders to discuss steps for safeguarding Palestinians and defending the international principles surrounding Jerusalem's legal standing and cultural identity, according to a report on Tuesday.
The urgent meeting convened in Cairo's League headquarters, with Qatar represented by First Secretary Amna Abdulrahman Al Sulaiti. The delegation's presence was a direct result of a request from the Palestinian delegation and the backing of other Arab countries.
The primary objective of the emergency session was to investigate how Arab nations and the international community could prevent the intensifying violence from Israeli forces and settlers targeting Palestinians and their property. This violence is allegedly driven by a deliberate policy by the Israeli government to clear Palestinian neighborhoods, enlarge settlements, and undermine the two-state resolution.
The discussion also delved into the infringement of occupied Jerusalem's legal standing and cultural essence following the establishment of embassies in the city by certain nations.
