His Excellency Mr Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), expressed his strong condemnation and refusal to approve the Israeli Knesset’s decision on a draft law rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state.
HE the Secretary General said that the decision of the Israeli occupation forces is a clear violation of international and UN resolutions related to the Palestinian cause, and confirms their desire and move forward to fueling tension and threaten security and stability in the region and the world.
Furthermore, His Excellency called on the international community to reject and denounce this unjust decision, which expresses the intentions of the Israeli occupation forces to expand the circle of conflict and their lack of desire for stability and peace in the region.
HE the Secretary General reiterated the stance of the GCC countries towards the Palestinian cause, supporting the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and supporting the Palestinian people to obtain all their legitimate rights.
