Iran Press/Middle East: The Arab League foreign ministers said in a final declaration at the extraordinary session in Cairo that they rejected any kind of peace plan which does not respect the rights of the Palestinian people.
Referring to the US plan, dubbed the 'Deal of the century', to establish a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip, the declaration added that without giving the legal rights of the Palestinian people, these kinds of plans will never bring comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East, Reuters reported.
The rights, as explained, were listed as Palestinian people's aspirations to re-establish their independent state on the lines of June 4, 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital, compensation for Palestinian refugees and releasing the captives.
The declaration also called on Palestinian groups to establish national reconciliation and hold elections as soon as possible.
In Arab League’s extraordinary meeting, Palestinian authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "does not believe in peace".
He also accused Israel of entirely breaching international resolutions including Oslo Accords and Paris Economic Protocol since 1947.
He also criticized the US that President Donald Trump announced his decision to recognize al-Quds as Israel’s capital, relocating the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds.
US President Donald Trump’s decision to move the US embassy to al-Quds from Tel Aviv in May 2018 delighted Israel, infuriated Palestinians and upset the wider Arab world and many US allies.
After months of global outcry, the US finally moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to al-Quds in May 2018.
The Zionist regime regards all of al-Quds as its capital, including the eastern sector that it annexed after the 1967 Middle East war, and wants all embassies based there.
The international community has largely rejected Israel's claims to al-Quds, supporting the Palestinian view that eastern al-Quds is the capital of a future independent Palestinian state. 101/205/213
