Prince Abdul-Aziz bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Foreign Minister, reaffirmed today the rejection of the Arab community of the Israeli activities that undermine the two-state solution by isolating Palestinian towns from each other and encircling Al-Quds Al-Sharif with settlements. Prince Abdul-Aziz bin Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz called on the international community to exert pressure on Israel to transfer funds owed to the Palestinian Authority and to stop the unfair practice. This came in a speech to the preparatory ministerial meeting of the regular 24th session of the Arab League Council at the summit level. Following is the text of the speech: "In the name of Allah the Merciful Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon His messenger Your Excellency Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr Al Thani, Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Your Highnesses and Excellencies the Foreign Ministers, Your Excellency Secretary General of the Arab League, Brothers attendees, Peace and Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you I would like at the outset to extend to the brothers in the State of Qatar, words of thanks and appreciation for what we have received since our arrival to this brotherly country of hospitality and good reception, praying to Allah Almighty to crown our efforts with success. Brothers, It is noted that the agenda of the summit is a brief one compared to previous summits and this is consistent with commendable trends for the Arab summits to discuss and focus on key issues, especially since the Ministerial Council of the League at its regular sessions touches on all subjects without exception, discuss them in full detail and take appropriate decisions on them. This step comes in line with efforts to develop the performance of the Arab League, allowing the Arab summits to come up with well-thought decisions that are easy to implement and follow-up. In this context and after reviewing the report of the Presidency of the Summit on the activity of the commission of the follow-up of the implementation of decisions and commitments, we express our thanks and appreciation to the chairman of the Commission and its members and the Secretary General of the League for their good efforts to follow-up what was approved by Baghdad summit and the recommendations by them regarding their implementation. --More 15:31 LOCAL TIME 12:31 GMT تغريد
