Arab League Hails 8-Nation Statement Condemning Israeli Repudiation of Gaza Roadmap
Cairo, August 17 (QNA) - The Arab League has welcomed the Sunday statement issued by eight Arab and Islamic nations condemning the Israeli proclaimed repudiation of the roadmap to complete the comprehensive plan to end the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement Monday, Secretary General Nabil Fahmy stressed that the position of the occupation and its Prime Minister lays bare a conspicuous intent to vitiate all mediators' efforts and entrench the status quo in Gaza.
These actions, he added, imply dragging out the daily killing policy, broadening the occupation's scope and precluding moves to remedy the inhumane conditions that have been plaguing more than two million Palestinians for three years.
Fahmy underlined that the Israeli Prime Minister is stirred by apparent internal calculations, indicating that his declared positions reveal a dismissal of the international will that had been materialized in the peace plan and Security Council Resolution 2803.
He noted that these positions also disregard the arrangement reached by mediators in terms of disarming Hamas concurrently with the Israeli withdrawal, deploying the International Stabilization Force and transferring administrative authority to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).
Hamas's approval of these arrangements, coupled with the Israeli occupation's reneging on its obligations, puts the entire responsibility on Israel, Fahmy contended.
He stressed that this backsliding holds the international community, chiefly the United States, which has been patronizing this deal since last October, responsible in terms of moral and political obligations to tighten the screws on the party that obstructs the deal and breaches its obligations so as to immediately transition to the second phase of the peace plan.
The occupation state wants to impose its will not only on the Palestinians but on the entire world, Fahmy underscored, stating that the occupation views these deals as comprising obligations on one party only.
As such, Fahmy appealed to all nations that still believe in the two-state solution as an off-ramp to resolve the Palestine-Israel conflict to take a unified and clear posture toward the extremist government in Israel, whose Prime Minister declares his repudiation of the principle of the creation of Palestinian statehood.
This posture, he said, would make the occupation state realize that its underestimation of international will in this way won't go without consequences.
Foreign ministers of the State of Qatar and seven Arab and Islamic nations condemned in a joint statement Sunday Israel's proclaimed repudiation of the roadmap aimed at completing the implementation of US President Donald Trump's comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza, as well as Israel's rejection of the establishment of a Palestinian state.
