Cairo, September 07 (QNA) - The Arab League strongly condemned the continuing Israeli attacks in the Palestinian territories, southern Lebanon and Syrian territories, noting that they also extend to the Red Sea and Somalia, constituting a violation of sovereignty and undermining arrangements aimed at de-escalating tensions in the region.

Secretary-General of the Arab League Nabil Fahmy said during the 166th regular session of the Arab League Council at the ministerial level, held today at the headquarters of the League's General Secretariat, that the Israeli occupation continued to stall in fulfilling the obligations of the Sharm El Sheikh Peace Summit agreement, despite the international support it had received, thereby undermining the transition from a ceasefire to genuine peace.

He added that in Gaza, during nearly 300 days since the ceasefire, around 300 Palestinian children had been killed, equivalent to approximately one child every day. He also pointed to the continuing violence by Israeli forces and settlers in the West Bank and Jerusalem, the expansion of settlement activities, land confiscations, home demolitions and repeated incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which violate the sanctity of holy sites and push the conflict into increasingly dangerous territory.

He added that the Arab League would devote particular attention to monitoring and documenting Israeli violations of international law and resolutions of international legitimacy, announcing the launch of a unified coordination mechanism linking Arab monitoring bodies with the relevant departments of the General Secretariat. The mechanism is aimed at standardizing monitoring and documentation methodologies and producing periodic reports to support political, media and legal action.

On another matter, the Secretary-General of the Arab League stressed that Iran's targeting of territories and facilities in Arab countries was unacceptable to the League and could not be justified. He emphasized that Arab countries were not parties to this war and had not chosen to become a battleground for it, and that their sovereignty was not an open arena for settling scores with others, regardless of the justifications offered.
