The Arab Parliament welcomed the decision taken by the African Summit, held today in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, to freeze Israel’s membership as an observer in the African Union, following its accession in August 2021 to the Union as an observer based on a decision by the Chairperson of the Commission.
The Arab Parliament affirmed that this decision corrected the previous individual position of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki, and confirms that African support for the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people will not be drained nor will it be affected by any Zionist entity attempts.
It also praised the efforts of Arab diplomacy to correct this position in line with international laws and United Nations resolutions.
“This decision is a new victory for the Palestinian people and a support for their just cause, steadfastness and struggle against the Israeli occupier that has usurped their land,” the Parliament asserted.
It hailed as well the historical positions of the African Union towards the Palestinian cause, and its decisions that always emphasize “unwavering support for the inalienable, permanent and unconditional right of the Palestinian people to determine their fate, including their right to live in liberty, justice and dignity, and their right to establish their independent state, with Jerusalem as its capital.”
