Amman: Jordan's Permanent Representative to the Arab League, Amjad Adayleh, said that Jordan prioritised the Palestinian cause during its presidency of the Arab League in its 163rd regular session.
According to Jordan News Agency, Adayleh emphasized that the Kingdom made it a priority to keep the Palestinian issue central amidst the unprecedented challenges faced by Palestine and the ongoing violence against its people. Over the past six months, during Jordan's leadership of the Arab League Council, numerous meetings and extraordinary sessions were convened, focusing on developments in occupied Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
The efforts during Jordan's presidency helped to strengthen the unified Arab stance in rejecting Israeli aggression and highlighting its continued violations. The meetings aimed to support peace efforts, push for an immediate cessation of hostilities, and advocate for a comprehensive political resolution based on the two-state solution. This includes the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Adayleh noted that the resolutions adopted reflected a collective Arab position and demonstrated strong coordination and consultation among member states. Jordan's efforts were widely commended by Arab delegations, recognizing the Kingdom's role in defending the Palestinian cause, fostering Arab unity, and promoting regional stability.
Discussions during the presidency also addressed broader regional challenges, focusing on supporting political solutions, strengthening national institutions, and reinforcing security and stability across the Arab world.
