Hamas: Summit resolutions require more effort to end aggression
Hamas has called for greater action following the resolutions of the recent Arab and Islamic summit, stressing the need to halt the ongoing aggression, lift the siege, and provide urgent aid to the Palestinian people.
The resolutions of the Arab and Islamic summit require further efforts to halt the aggression, lift the siege, and provide aid to the Palestinian people, Hamas said in a statement.
The movement emphasized that the summit called on the UN Security Council to compel "Israel" to cease its aggression against Gaza and Lebanon. It also urged immediate action to freeze "Israel's" participation in the United Nations and impose an arms export ban on the entity.
Hamas added, "Our people are awaiting their Arab and Muslim brethren to activate available tools to enforce a halt to the aggression."
Arab-Islamic summit calls for solidarity, action on Gaza, Lebanon
Leaders from across the Arab and Islamic world convened on Monday in the Saudi capital of Riyadh for an extraordinary summit to address ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza and Lebanon.
The attendees included leaders from Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Nigeria, Uzbekistan, Turkiye, Iran, and the Arab League, who went on to discuss key topics including regional sovereignty, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and potential international responses to the Israeli occupation's actions.
Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan announced the summit in late October, during the first meeting of an international alliance pushing for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Attendees will "discuss the continued Israeli aggression on the Palestinian territories and the Lebanese Republic, and the current developments in the region," the official Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday.
Arab and Muslim leaders began to arrive in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
It comes one year after a similar gathering in Riyadh of the Cairo-based Arab League and the Jeddah-based Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) during which leaders condemned Israeli forces' actions in Gaza as "barbaric".
