On Sunday, the Arab League will hold an emergency meeting at the level of permanent delegates. To issue a unified position on the decisions of the International Court of Justice regarding the Gaza Strip.

This came according to a press statement issued by Ambassador Hossam Zaki, Assistant Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, and a statement by the Permanent Representative of Palestine to the League, Ambassador Muhannad Al-Aklouk.

Zaki said that the meeting will be held, on Sunday, at the headquarters of the League’s General Secretariat in Cairo, in response to a request submitted by the State of Palestine regarding holding this extraordinary session at the level of permanent delegates, in light of the decisions issued by the International Court of Justice.

The Palestinian delegate explained that his country "requested to hold an extraordinary session of the Council of the League of Arab States at the level of permanent delegates, to issue a unified Arab position on the order issued by the International Court of Justice."

Ambassador Al-Aklouk added, "This request submitted by the State of Palestine came in coordination with Morocco, in its capacity as President of the 160th session of the League Council at the ministerial level, and with Jordan and Egypt, with the support of the member states of the Arab League."

On Friday, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to take measures to prevent genocide against the Palestinians and improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, but the decision did not include a “ceasefire” text, amid Palestinian welcome.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the court's decision by saying that Tel Aviv "will continue the war" on Gaza, adding that the court "did not ask Israel to cease fire."

On January 11 and 12, the International Court of Justice in The Hague held two public hearings, as part of the start of consideration of the lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel on charges of committing “genocide crimes” against the Palestinians in Gaza.
