Palestinian Vice President Hussein Al-Sheikh condemned the Israeli Occupation's decision to block the arrival of the Arab-Islamic delegation to Ramallah.

In a post on X, Sheikh stated that discussions are underway with Arab partners to determine how to respond to the decision.
The Israeli occupation's decision to prevent the Arab-Islamic delegation from reaching Ramallah is a dangerous escalation that reflects arrogant, provocative, and unprecedented behavior. We are examining, along with our Arab brothers, how to respond to this decision. https://t.co/hx2qjWwrvK

The delegation had decided to postpone the visit to Ramallah due to the Israeli Occupation's obstruction, after it denied the delegation entry through the airspace over the occupied West Bank, which is controlled by the "Israeli" entity.
The delegation includes the committee's head, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia; Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bahrain; Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Egypt; and Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the Arab League. Also in attendance is Ayman Safadi, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Jordan, who is meeting with his counterparts this evening and tomorrow.
In a joint statement today, the delegation affirmed that 'Israel's' decision to prevent the visit to Ramallah and the meeting with President Mahmoud Abbas, President of the State of Palestine, and other Palestinian officials, constitutes a blatant violation of Israel's obligations as the occupying power.
They added that the decision reflects the arrogance of the "Israeli" government, its disregard for international law, and its ongoing illegal practices and policies that besiege the Palestinian people and their legitimate leadership, entrench the occupation, and undermine the prospects for a just and comprehensive peace.

Houthis say fired ballistic at Ben Gurion Airport; 'Israel' says intercepted

The Yemen's Houthis said they fired a ballistic missile at Ben Gurion airport. The group's military spokesperson Yahya Saree said three drones were also launched at 'Israel'. The Iran-backed group has repeatedly launched missiles and drones at 'Israel' in what they say is support for the Palestinians against the 'Israeli' aggression.

Hamas responds to US ambassador to 'Israel' controversial statement
Hamas issued a statement following the United States Ambassador to 'Israel' Mike Huckabee's remarks – where he suggested carving out a piece of the French Riviera to create a Palestinian state. Huckabee's comments came in an attack against France after President Emmanuel Macron discussed a potential recognition of a Palestinian state. Huckabee described the move as 'revolting.' Hamas condemned his statements, saying it is a 'blatant insult to the legitimate national rights of our people' and 'a flagrant violation of international law and United Nations resolutions.' 'The remarks reflect the United States' full alignment with the Zionist occupation and its expansion colonial agenda,' the statement read. Huckabee called France's move 'incredibly inappropriate in the midst of a war that Israel is dealing with to go out and present something that I think increasingly Israelis are steadfast against.' 'October 7 changed a lot of things,' Huckabee told Fox News. 'If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I have a suggestion for them — carve out a piece of the French Riviera and create a Palestinian state. They are welcome to do that, but they are not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation.' 'And I find it revolting that they think they have the right to do such a thing,' Huckabee said, declaring that the United States will not participate in the June conference.
