  • Discussions leading to the adoption of the Arab-Islamic resolution “succeeded in building the necessary consensus which materialised in the form of a resolution that was adopted unanimously”: Spokesman for the Secretary-General of the League of Arab State
    Date: 13/11/2023

    ​Gamal Roshdy, the spokesperson for the Secretary-General of the Arab League, said that the discussions leading to the adoption of the Arab-Islamic resolution during the joint summit of the two organisations last Saturday were successful in fostering the necessary consensus among member states. He emphasised that the resulting resolution was unanimously endorsed.

    Roshdy criticised inaccurate press reports from last Friday morning, which erroneously portrayed alleged disagreements among Arab countries regarding the Arab approach to addressing the war through the summit decision. He expressed concern that such reports presented a skewed version of the discussions about the Arab project, generating a negative impression.
    Addressing questions from the media today, Roshdy clarified that it's not uncommon for reservations to arise on certain articles, noting that some countries had submitted written reservations to the secretariat before the joint summit was scheduled on Friday evening. This occurred prior to merging the draft Arab resolution with the Islamic statement into a single document, thereby presenting a unified position from both organisations and amplifying its significance.
    Roshdy stated, "The Arab position in supporting the people of Gaza against the ruthless Israeli attack is unified and enjoys complete consensus among member states." He underscored that the current circumstances do not permit futile bidding and highlighted that the top priority is to halt the aggression and provide support to the people of Gaza.
