The Secretary-General of the Arab National Conference (ANC), Hamdeen Sabahi, called, on Thursday, to utilize all the political, mobilizational, economic, and oil capabilities to pressure the Israeli entity and its NATO supporters to cease fire in Gaza and end what he described as "an unprecedented holocaust in contemporary history."

In his speech, Sabahi said the ANC submitted these demands in a memorandum to the Arab Summit via the Arab Congress.

The organization's chief stressed that measures that must be taken by Arab countries, include severing all normalization relations, public or private, with the Israeli occupation and boycotting all countries and companies supporting the aggression against Gaza.

He also emphasized the necessity of realizing that the aggression unleashed on the Gaza Strip is not aimed at a specific Resistance faction as the Israeli entity and its supporters repeatedly claim. Rather, it targets all of Palestine and the Palestinian people, as well as the entire Arab nation, its dignity, and its will of resistance. 

Sabahi called for providing the besieged people of Gaza with all the living essentials, such as medicine and energy, stressing the immediate need to open the Rafah crossing.

Moreover, he highlighted the importance of striving to strengthen national unity and internal fronts, whether in Palestine or elsewhere in the Arab nation, considering that the internal Arab conflicts, whether between countries or locally, are the cracks through which enemies infiltrate to weaken the peoples' hopes for a comprehensive Arab renaissance.

In this context, Sabahi called on all regional leaders to make the necessary reconciliations in order to preserve the unity of countries and the dignity of citizens, including the release of all political detainees whose hands are not stained with blood and the return of all exiles to their countries.

Additionally, he said the victory of the Resistance in the ongoing Operation Al-Aqsa Flood should be considered as an incentive and a call to transition the Arab homeland from a state of division, strife, and exclusion to one of unity, reconciliation, and integration.

"Our recognition of the extent of laxity and impotence characterizing the official Arab position does not mean we overlook the existence of commendable stances, including the emergence of defiance to American dictates and decisive positions against the forced displacement and settlement plans by the enemy and its supporters."

Moreover, he criticized that incapacity has marred the official Arab reality for many years, alluding to the silence of some Arab countries on the genocide taking place in Gaza.

Sabahi further noted that one of the latest manifestations of this impotence was the delay in convening the Arab Nationalist Conference for more than a month after the Israeli massacre of the people in Gaza started. He pointed out that the delay was caused by the official Arab regimes succumbing to American-Western pressures and the widening gap between governments and the people.

"However, we find it our duty to address your summit to convey the aspirations of our nations' masses from our governments, in a manner commensurate with the enormity of the holocaust committed by the Zionist occupation, to place you before your responsibilities in this dangerous time our nation is going through, amid a great victory achieved by our valiant Resistance in Palestine."

In his concluding message, he held the Arab governments responsible, saying, "In this historic and pivotal moment, you bear the responsibility before the Arab people, who now recall the saying of the leader Gamal Abdel Nasser: 'Every Arab must now enter into every account or fall from any account.'"
