RIYADH: The Palestine Committee of the Arab Parliament held a meeting on Thursday in Cairo to look at ways to stand with the people in Gaza and support the Palestinian cause, under the chairmanship of Speaker Adel Al-Asoumi.
Assaf bin Salem Abu Thuneen, a member of the Saudi Shoura Council and the Arab Parliament, said the committee thanked countries for providing humanitarian aid in support of the Palestinians, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The committee also highly praised Ƶ’s efforts, led by King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in supporting the Palestinian cause and providing humanitarian and relief assistance to its people.
In addition, the body commended the Kingdom’s political support for Palestine in all international forums.
Abu Thuneen thanked South Africa for its stance in filing a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice for its assault on the Palestinian people in Gaza and the occupied territories.
He added that the Arab Parliament planned to send messages to the parliaments of countries that had supported the Israeli campaign to inform them of its condemnation, and tell them that they had become complicit in Israel’s assaults and crimes against the Palestinian people.
Abu Thuneen said that participants at the meeting had agreed to change the term “occupation force” to “occupying Israeli entity” in official communications and statements issued by the Arab Parliament.
