WAM

The Arab Parliament has praised the UAE's humanitarian efforts to support Palestinians in Gaza under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Yamahi, President of the Arab Parliament, highlighted the implementation of the largest project to supply desalinated water from Egypt to the southern part of the Strip, benefiting around 600,000 affected Palestinians. 

Delivering his remarks at the second ordinary session of the fourth legislative term, he also commended the efforts of Egypt, Qatar and Turkey in reaching the Gaza ceasefire agreement in Sharm El Sheikh, stressing that it represents a significant step towards consolidating calm and favourable conditions for reconstruction.

He reaffirmed that the Palestinian cause remains the foremost and central issue of the Arab nation, underscoring that achieving a just and comprehensive peace begins and ends with ending the occupation and establishing an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Al Yamahi called on countries and international organisations to actively participate in the international conference on Gaza reconstruction scheduled to be held in Egypt in November.

He also stressed the importance of holding Israel accountable for its crimes before the competent international courts.
