The Arab Parliament called on Saturday for allowing the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged Gaza Strip in a rapid, safe and unimpeded manner.

This was announced in a statement issued at the closing session of the Parliament’s third legislative term, warning against the terrifying repercussions of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Strip.

It stressed the centrality of the Palestinian issue, and continuation of Arab efforts and international endeavors to support the issue.

It underlined the need of mobilizing international support to Palestinian brothers, and an immediate halt of Israeli occupation, and genocide and humanitarian crimes against Palestinian civilians.

The statement lauded international and Arab efforts aiming to reach an immediate ceasefire and resolve the conflict in the region based on accredited international references.

It called for granting Palestine a full UN membership, affirming support to Egyptian and Qatari efforts aiming to reach a permanent ceasefire and the
return of those displaced to their homes as well as the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip.

Moreover, it condemned the Israeli occupation decisions to legitimize settlement outposts in the West Bank and impose taxes on churches and their institutions in Jerusalem.

The statement also rejected the occupation’s attempts aiming to legitimize and approve the construction of more settlements in the West Bank to change the existing historical and legal situation in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The statement declined any attempts to forcibly displace Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and urged confronting displacement in all its forms, which constitutes a clear violation of international law.

It called for enabling Gazans to return to their homes they left due to the aggression, condemning the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation on a daily basis in the Strip.

It called on the international community to continue putting pressure on the occupying entity to stop the aggression,
ethnic cleansing, and war of genocide in the Gaza Strip.

It demanded a complete withdrawal from the Strip and providing protection to defenseless civilians, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions, relevant Security Council resolutions, international law and international humanitarian law.
