Arab Parliament condemns Israel's approval of 22 settlements in West Bank
The Arab Parliament on Saturday condemned the decision of the Israeli occupation authorities to approve the construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank, considering it a ''blatant'' violation of international law and UN Security Council Resolution 2334. In a statement, the Cairo-based Parliament affirmed the decision represents a serious escalation that undermines the prospects for peace and shuts the door on the two-state solution. It called on the international community, particularly the Security Council, to take immediate action to halt the violations and hold the occupation accountable. The Parliament also urged countries that have not yet recognised the State of Palestine to do so in support of the legitimate Palestinian right.

Arab Parliament Speaker: Supporting and Protecting Victims of Terrorism Is a Top Priority
Baghdad – INA The Speaker of the Arab Parliament, Mohammed bin Ahmed Al-Yamahi, affirmed today, Thursday, the Parliament's keenness to activate the role of the Arab Center for Combating Terrorism and Extremist Ideology, noting that supporting and protecting victims of terrorism is a top priority on the agenda of joint Arab action. In a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Al-Yamahi said, "Parliament appreciates the significant efforts made by the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism, particularly the efforts of the Office's program in the Qatari capital, Doha, through the coordination mechanism for parliamentary assemblies in the field of counter-terrorism, in all of whose meetings the Arab Parliament is keen to participate." He added that "the Arab Parliament is keen to activate the role of its Arab Center for Combating Terrorism and Extremist Ideology, through its engagement in numerous counterterrorism-related issues." He explained that "the issue of supporting and protecting victims of terrorism is a top priority in this field, stemming from the Arab Parliament's commitment to building the capacity of Arab parliamentarians in their dealings with victims of terrorism by providing them with the best existing practices that are compatible with the culture and specificities of Arab societies." He pointed out that "the Arab Center for Combating Terrorism and Extremist Ideology intends to prepare an Arab parliamentary guide to support and protect the rights of victims of terrorism. This guide will serve as a comprehensive reference for Arab parliaments, identifying best practices, legislative frameworks, and procedures necessary to support, protect, and compensate victims of terrorism." He explained that "the center intends to prepare this guide in cooperation with the Counter-Terrorism Department of the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States," calling on "the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism to be a third partner in preparing this guide." For his part, Murad Tanjeev, Deputy Head of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Programme, explained that "the Arab Parliament is one of the most important and active partners of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism, and is keen to participate in the meetings organized by the Office in this field on an ongoing basis," according to the statement. He affirmed the UN Office's welcome of the Arab Parliament's proposals to support and promote the rights of victims of terrorism, explaining that these are "one of the most important topics of interest to the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism, in addition to the issue of artificial intelligence and its relationship to terrorism, and protecting youth from extremist ideology." According to the statement, Murad provided a brief overview of the significant efforts undertaken by the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism in a number of Arab countries through its training and capacity-building programs. Chris O'Donnell, Senior Official in the Office of the Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, also provided a brief overview of behavioral science, through which the Office aims not only to rehabilitate those returning from terrorism, but also to rehabilitate society to re-accept and reintegrate them. The statement concluded that "at the end of the meeting, the two sides agreed on the importance of signing a memorandum of joint cooperation as soon as possible and continuing communication and coordination regarding enhancing joint cooperation in areas that enhance the role of parliamentarians in countering terrorism."
