The Arab Parliament stressed that any vision calling for controlling the Gaza Strip, violating Palestinian sovereignty, and displacing the Palestinian people from the Strip to other countries is condemned and rejected in its entirety and in detail, and is a flagrant violation of all international laws, and a clear violation of international legitimacy resolutions, and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

This came in the decision issued by the emergency session held today, Wednesday, under the slogan "Reconstructing Gaza is a duty... and displacing its people is a crime", headed by Parliament Speaker Mohammed Al-Yamahi, with the participation of the Vice-Chairman of the Palestine Committee, MP Nasser Abu Bakr, and MP Mai Al-Kaila.

The Arab Parliament affirmed its absolute rejection of any attempts aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause or imposing unfair solutions, considering that any attempts to impose displacement in all its forms on the Palestinian people constitute a crime against humanity under international law and the Geneva Conventions, and that this unfair plan does not serve the efforts to achieve a just and comprehensive peace, but rather fuels the conflict and increases the intensity of tension in the region.

He expressed his complete rejection of any initiatives or attempts to displace the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and his refusal to accept any attempts to change the equation and impose a new reality of displacement and liquidation of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and harm their historical rights in their homeland and liquidation of the Palestinian cause. He called on the international community, the Security Council and the United Nations to take a firm international position against any calls or plans aimed at displacing the Palestinians from their land.

The Arab Parliament also stressed that the Palestine Liberation Organization is the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, and rejected any external attempts to circumvent it, and the necessity of strengthening its role, position, and various frameworks, and the position of the Palestinian National Council, the "Parliament of the Palestinian People". It also called on all Palestinians to engage in the Palestine Liberation Organization, and to make Palestinian national reconciliation a success through the upcoming rounds of dialogue, to achieve unity of the position of the Palestinian factions, and to enhance the ability of the Palestinian people to persevere and struggle nationally.

The Parliament called on the US administration to retract any positions or statements that contradict international legitimacy and the rights of the Palestinian people, and do not contribute to achieving the two-state solution, which is the only way to establish peace and security in the region, especially US President Trump’s statements regarding the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

He stressed his full support for the Palestinian people in their adherence to their land and their support for achieving all their inalienable rights, foremost among which are their right to return, self-determination and the establishment of their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital, and called on international and regional parliaments to urge their countries to protect these rights and support the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in the face of plans and initiatives aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause.

The Arab Parliament called for the complete withdrawal of the Israeli occupation from the Gaza Strip, expressing its complete rejection of any attempts to divide the Strip. It also called for working to enable the Palestinian Authority to assume its duties in the Gaza Strip, as it is part of the occupied Palestinian territory, along with the West Bank, including Jerusalem, in a way that allows for addressing the humanitarian catastrophe that the Strip is currently facing due to the Israeli aggression.

He condemned the dangerous escalation of crimes and violations by the Israeli occupation and settlers, on a number of cities, villages and camps in the West Bank, including the city of Jerusalem, especially the brutal military attack on the cities of Jenin, Tulkarm, Nour Shams and Al-Far’a and their camps, and the martyrdom and injury of dozens of civilians, which the occupation began since the start of the implementation of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

The Arab Parliament held the occupation government responsible for this escalation, which threatens to explode the security and humanitarian situation, and destroy all efforts aimed at peace, a ceasefire, and ending the war, calling for holding the occupation leaders and settlers accountable for their crimes against the Palestinian people.

He welcomed the announcement of reaching a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, considering this step an important development towards ending the war of extermination and military escalation, which claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people and caused great human suffering for the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, calling on all parties to fully adhere to the terms of the agreement and continue working towards calm to avoid any new escalation.

He stressed the need to respect international humanitarian laws, protect civilians and ensure the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid to those affected in the Gaza Strip.

The Arab Parliament praised the tireless and great efforts made by the Arab Republic of Egypt and the State of Qatar in reaching a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, highly appreciating their role in stopping the escalation and the war of genocide and alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people.

He stressed that these efforts reflect the commitment of Arab countries to defending the Palestinian cause and their keenness to achieve security and stability in the region, calling for the continuation of these efforts to establish calm and a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire and to work to launch a just and comprehensive peace process that leads to ending the occupation and establishing an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

He stressed the need to support efforts to ensure humanitarian support reaches all parts of the Gaza Strip, and to remove all obstacles to the entry of all humanitarian aid in an appropriate and safe manner.

The Arab Parliament also called for leading urgent international efforts to support the reconstruction process of the Gaza Strip, which was subjected to widespread destruction, and to ensure the provision of sufficient and sustainable funding to rebuild the infrastructure and provide the basic needs of the residents of the Strip as quickly as possible, in a manner that guarantees the Palestinians’ continued presence on their land.

He welcomed the Arab Republic of Egypt hosting an emergency Arab summit on March 4, 2025 in Cairo, at the request of the State of Palestine and in coordination with the Kingdom of Bahrain, which holds the presidency of the summit in its current session, to address the new and dangerous developments in the Palestinian issue, as well as its hosting of an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, to affirm the constants of the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic position on the Palestinian issue, and adherence to the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, foremost of which is their right to self-determination and to live in their homeland and on their land.

He also welcomed the announcement of the establishment of the "Hague Group", which consists of nine countries: South Africa, Malaysia, Colombia, Bolivia, Cuba, Honduras, Namibia, Senegal, and Belize, to work towards achieving two main goals: supporting the Palestinian people and their right to establish their state, pursuing the occupation in international courts, ending the occupation of Palestinian territories, supporting the Palestinians' right to self-determination, and coordinating efforts to confront the occupation's violations of international law.

The Arab Parliament welcomed the outcomes of the Seventh Conference of the Arab Parliament and the Presidents of Arab Councils and Parliaments, in cooperation with the Arab Parliamentary Union, on February 22, 2025, which issued an Arab parliamentary action plan to support the steadfastness of the Palestinian people on their land and to thwart plans to liquidate the Palestinian cause.

He also welcomed the outcomes of the six-party Arab meeting held in Cairo at the invitation of the Arab Republic of Egypt, which stressed the need for the complete withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, the complete rejection of any attempts to divide the Strip, and working to enable the Palestinian Authority to assume its duties in the Gaza Strip as part of the occupied Palestinian territory alongside the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and rejecting any attempts to bypass UNRWA or limit its role, in a way that allows the international community to address the humanitarian catastrophe that the Strip has been exposed to due to the Israeli aggression.

The Parliament called on all countries to ban the export or transfer of arms and ammunition to the Israeli occupation, and urged countries to join the initiative proposed by the Republic of Turkey and the core group of 18 countries, which was signed by 52 countries, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the League of Arab States, and to send a joint letter to the UN Security Council, the President of the UN General Assembly and the Secretary-General, in order to stop providing arms to the occupation, and to call on all countries to sign it.

The Arab Parliament called for the establishment of an Arab fund to support Arab countries financially and morally, which are being pressured financially by the American administration to accept the displacement of Palestinians, and to support their steadfastness in the face of these threats.

He stressed his support for all efforts made by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to protect Islamic and Christian holy sites in the occupied city of Jerusalem, and stressed the role of the Hashemite guardianship over Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem and its role in protecting its Arab, Islamic and Christian identity, and its role in preserving the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its holy sites, and stressed that the Jordanian Jerusalem Endowments and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Administration is the exclusive legitimate body with jurisdiction to manage the affairs of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, maintain it and regulate entry to it.

The Arab Parliament also stressed the efforts of the Kingdom of Morocco, through the important role and continuous efforts of the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency, affiliated with the Al-Quds Committee, in order to preserve the identity of the city and its legal status and support the steadfastness of its people.

The Arab Parliament adopted a plan of action to support Palestinian rights, assist efforts to rebuild the Gaza Strip, and confront the displacement plan, through: the Arab Parliament addressing regional and international parliaments, urging their countries to participate effectively in the global coalition to implement the two-state solution, and supporting the Palestinian right in the international peace conference scheduled to be held at the United Nations in mid-June 2025, co-chaired by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of France, which constitutes an opportunity to mobilize international efforts to recognize the State of Palestine, obtain full membership in the United Nations, and implement the two-state solution based on international legitimacy.

The action plan stressed that the Arab Parliament should address regional and international parliaments and the Inter-Parliamentary Union to push parliamentary diplomacy to confront any plans to displace the people of Palestine and liquidate the Palestinian cause, given the seriousness of this matter on the chances of peace in the region and on regional and international security, and to demand that they abide by the resolutions of international legitimacy, and to call on the parliaments of countries that have not recognized the State of Palestine to recognize it in support of the right, in support of peace, and in strengthening international security.

The plan called for assigning delegations from the Arab Parliament to visit similar parliaments, especially the African Parliament and the European Parliament, and a number of parliaments of active European countries, to hold meetings and mobilize the support of the international community to reject any plans that detract from Palestinian rights, including the right of return and self-determination, and to take practical steps to end the occupation and recognize the independent State of Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions, the Arab Peace Initiative, and the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, which stipulated the illegality of the occupation and the necessity of ending it within 12 months, in accordance with the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly.

The action plan also called for preparing a memorandum with the necessary legal grounds for the request to freeze the participation of the Israeli Knesset in the Inter-Parliamentary Union, due to its enactment of racist laws that contradict international laws and norms, and to support the efforts of the Arab group in New York to implement steps to freeze Israel’s participation in the United Nations General Assembly, due to its failure to adhere to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, its threat to international peace and security, and its failure to fulfill its obligations that were a condition for accepting its membership in the United Nations.

She stressed the Arab Parliament's full support for all decisions of the Palestinian Authority, regarding confronting any decisions to displace the Palestinian people, and any attempts to undermine Palestinian sovereignty over its lands.

She called for writing to members of the US Congress who support and oppose the Palestinian and Arab positions and informing them of the Arab Parliament’s protest, denunciation and condemnation of any plans to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, and its refusal to support the Israeli occupation’s war of genocide against the Palestinian people, and the necessity of supporting the popular boycott of the products of all companies that support the Israeli occupation and the countries that supply it with weapons.

The plan also called for the necessity of continuing the work of the parliamentary team formed by the Arab Parliament to file a complaint against the Israeli occupation before the International Criminal Court regarding its crimes against the Palestinian people throughout the 15-month genocidal war from October 7, 2023 until the ceasefire was declared in January 2025, taking into account the complaint that the Arab Parliament had previously filed with the International Criminal Court during the first three months of this war, and requesting the official Palestinian authorities to provide the team with the documents they have that support this serious move.

The action plan also called for assigning the Palestine Committee, headed by the President of the Arab Parliament, to implement the Arab Parliament’s action plan at all levels and in all forums, Arab, regional and international, to support Arab and Palestinian efforts, and to preserve the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and their right to establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital, and to consider it a permanent item on its agenda.
