The Arab Parliament calls on the international community to confront the plan to displace the Palestinian people
Cairo – INA The Speaker of the Arab Parliament, Mohammed bin Ahmed Al-Yamahi, called on the international community on Saturday to confront the plan to displace the Palestinian people. In a statement followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Al-Yamahi said, "On the 49th anniversary of Palestinian Land Day, the Arab Parliament affirms its unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and their just struggle to regain their land and achieve all their legitimate, inalienable, and inalienable rights, guaranteed by international law and legitimacy." He noted that "the Palestinian struggle represents a model of steadfastness and willpower based on truth and justice." He reiterated the Arab Parliament's "solidarity with the Palestinian people in their defense of their land, history, holy sites, and national identity, and the need to work to achieve peace in accordance with UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, which is based on the vision of a two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital." Al-Yamahi pointed out that "commemorating Palestinian Land Day this year comes at a time when the Palestinian people are being subjected to a war of genocide and ethnic cleansing, which has claimed the lives of thousands of innocent civilians, most of them children and women, and left thousands missing under the rubble. There are also fierce attempts to displace them and empty the Gaza Strip of its residents. What is happening in the West Bank and Jerusalem, similar to what is happening in the Gaza Strip, is also happening in the Gaza Strip, and there is a dangerous and unprecedented escalation of attacks by settler militias against the Palestinian people." Al-Yamahi expressed the Arab Parliament's "categorical rejection of any plans aimed at displacing the Palestinian people in all their forms and manifestations, as well as annexation plans, adhering to international law and international resolutions that support the right of Palestinians to return to their homes and live with dignity on their land." He emphasized the Arab Parliament's "support for the Arab positions and the Egyptian plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip, and the importance of implementing a comprehensive reconstruction process in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible, in a manner that ensures the Palestinians remain on their land."
