Arab League Council condemns Israeli plan to impose control over Gaza

Arab League slams Israel’s Gaza military control plan, calls it a violation of international law and threat to regional security.

"Condemned the use of starvation as a weapon of extermination – Arab League Council"

Cairo, August 10

The Council of the Arab League condemned the Israeli government's decisions and plans to impose military control over the Gaza Strip and displace its population, affirming that such actions constitute a violation of international law and a threat to Arab and regional security.

In its closing statement following a meeting of permanent representatives at the League's headquarters, the Council renewed its call to protect the Palestinian people, prevent the liquidation of their cause, and implement resolutions of Arab summits to break the siege and deliver aid by land, sea, and air in coordination with the United Nations.

It also condemned the use of starvation as a weapon of extermination, which has claimed the lives of 200 civilians, half of them children, and the "death traps" that have resulted in 1,500 martyrs.

The Council called for enabling the State of Palestine to administer Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem, and urged the Arab Group in New York to submit a draft resolution to the UN Security Council under Chapter VII to halt the aggression on Gaza, facilitate the delivery of aid, and impose sanctions on Israel.

It further urged the international community to work towards implementing Security Council Resolutions 2735, 2712, and 2720, concerning the ceasefire, the return of displaced persons, the distribution of aid, the exchange of prisoners, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces. (ANI/WAM)

Heartbreaking to read about children dying from starvation. As a mother, I can't imagine this pain. The world needs to act NOW. Why are we still debating when innocent lives are being lost daily? 😢

While I support Palestinian rights, I wish Arab nations showed same concern for Kashmir. Double standards much? India has always maintained balanced position in this conflict.

The UNSC resolutions mentioned are crucial. But without US support, will anything change? The international system needs major reforms to prevent such humanitarian crises.

India's position is tricky but correct - supporting Palestinian statehood while maintaining relations with Israel. Our foreign policy has matured under Modi ji's leadership. Jai Hind!

The Arab League should first solve conflicts within their own member states before lecturing others. Yemen, Syria, Libya - all suffering under their watch. Charity begins at home!

Respectfully disagree with some comments here. The scale of humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unprecedented. Regardless of politics, we must prioritize saving lives. India's medical aid to Palestine was commendable.
