The 24th Arab League Summit released Tuesday its Doha Declaration, which was read by the Deputy Arab-League Secretary-General Ahmed Bin Helli. Qatar News Agency (QNA) said that the statement welcomed the initiative made by the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani to establish a fund to support Al Quds worth One billion US dollars to finance projects that conserve the Arab and Islamic identity of Al-Quds city (Jerusalem) and aid the Palestinian people in facing the policies of the Israeli occupation. It also welcomed the State of Qatar's contribution with a quarter of that sum. The Arab League called on the international community to work immediately on achieving fair peace that guarantees Israeli withdrawal from all Palestinian land as well as Arab land in Golan Heights. The declaration also called for establishing an independent Palestinian state based on the borders of 1967 with East Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as its capital. It demanded that the United Nations Security Council takes all the necessary measures. It also expressed their rejection of having Israel declare itself a Jewish state. The declaration also condemned illegal Israeli settlement activity taking place on Palestinian land including East Al-Quds city (Jerusalem), and accused Israel of trying to change the demographic in those areas. The Declaration said that the settlement activities were in clear violation of Security Council resolutions no. 465 of 1980 and 497 of 1981. --MORE 10:48 LOCAL TIME 07:48 GMT تغريد
