He emphasized that this action represents a “positive advance” in the ongoing global effort to secure the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, crucially including the establishment of an independent state wiht Jerusalem as its capital.

The Arab Parliament firmly believes that the recognition of a Palestinian state is essential to any equitable and lasting resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It’s not simply about acknowledging a people’s right to exist; it’s about establishing a foundation for meaningful negotiations and a viable two-state solution.
Al-yamahi reaffirmed the Arab Parliament’s unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, highlighting its continuous parliamentary and diplomatic efforts to support Palestinian rights at all levels. This includes advocating for international legal frameworks that uphold Palestinian self-determination and holding those responsible for violations of international law accountable.
The Arab Parliament views these recent announcements as a catalyst for further progress,and remains dedicated to working with the international community to achieve a future where palestinians can live in peace,security,and dignity within their own sovereign state.
