Arab League foreign ministers will meet Wednesday to discuss “Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip”.
This is sequel to a surprise assault by Hamas on Israel, the regional bloc announced.
The “extraordinary meeting” in Eygpt’s capital, Cairo will seek to find “avenues of political action at the Arab and international level”, as Israel keeps pounding targets in Gaza following Saturday’s attack, Arab League deputy chief Hossam Zaki said in a statement.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday requested an emergency ministerial-level meeting of the Arab League over the latest Israeli escalation.
In a statement, the ministry said it had directed “its permanent delegation to the Arab League to request an emergency meeting of the League Council at the ministerial level.”
The development was reached over “the escalation of the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people,” it said.
