Arab League calls for immediate action to end Israeli aggression on Gaza

AMMAN — Jordan's permanent representative to the Arab League Amjad Adaileh on Wednesday participated in an emergency meeting of the Arab League Council.

The extraordinary session, chaired by Yemen, was convened at the request of Palestine and supported by several Arab states, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The meeting focused on the escalating situation in the Palestinian territories, particularly in light of Israel's renewed aggression against Gaza, which has included direct bombardment of densely populated civilian areas.

The escalation comes as Gaza’s residents endure an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by the ongoing blockade and widespread destruction caused by relentless airstrikes, according to the statement.

The devastation has led to a complete collapse of the region’s infrastructure, along with severe shortages of food, medicine, and water, while international calls for action remain largely unanswered.

The meeting called for immediate measures to halt the aggression, provide urgent protection for Palestinian civilians, and lift the unjust blockade on Gaza.

It also emphasised the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state. The Arab League also urged immediate action to stop Israeli massacres and hold those responsible accountable in international courts.
