Int’l Community Urged Not to Remain Silent on Israeli Crimes
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Arab Parliament urged the international community not to keep silent on the crimes committed by the Israeli regime.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Arab Parliament considered all Israeli measures related to settlement as "illegal and amount to flagrant violations of international law and the resolutions of the international community."
It also called on the US administration to take "immediate measures to stop Israeli plans seeking to expropriate large swathes of the Palestinian land, undermining the two-state solution."
Meanwhile, the Arab Parliament called for "serious" involvement in the peace process and starting "real" negotiations that lead to ending the Israeli occupation within a certain time frame based on the UN resolutions and the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative.
This came one day after Secretary General of the Arab League Ahmad Aboul Gheit called on the US administration to take a "firm stance" against Israeli plans to build thousands of settlement units in the heart of the occupied West Bank.
