Palestine will remain a top priority for the Arab League, the group’s new secretary-general, Nabil Fahmy, has said.
– “We will continue to defend the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and work towards ending the occupation,” the Wafa news agency quoted Fahmy as saying during his first news conference in Cairo.
– “What Israel is committing in Gaza and the West Bank is an ongoing crime of genocide, which demands a steadfast Arab stance and action commensurate with the scale of historical responsibility.”
– Jerusalem will be a particular focus “in the face of every attempt to alter its status or erase its Arab identity”, said Fahmy.
– Last week, he said Israel had blocked him from visiting Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
