Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Emir of the State of Kuwait, Your Majesties , Excellencies and Highnesses, His Excellency the Secretary General of the Arab League, Brothers attendees, May Allah's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you. At the outset, I am honored to convey the greetings of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud , and his best wishes for the success of this Summit, who is confident that the experience and wisdom of His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah will lead to the success of this summit. Dear brothers . We meet today in the midst of the most extreme critical and sensitive conditions, where the Arab region faces many risks and challenges, which require to be addressed through the concerted efforts to confront all attempts aiming at undermining the security and stability of the Arab countries. This matter will be achieved only by strong will, sincere and solid determination and collective coordination to ensure continued unity of visions and harmony of necessary seriousness in dealing with the current challenges. The Palestinian cause has always been at the forefront of our concerns and preoccupations over the past decades. The position of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the same firm Arab position about the need that any negotiations or efforts in any way lead to achieving a just and comprehensive peace which enables the Palestinian people to recover their legitimate rights in accordance with the resolutions of the international legitimacy, the establishment of their independent state with Al-Quds as its capital on the basis of rejection of the risks posed to the city of Al-Quds from plans seeking to Judaize it and to the dangers of Al Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings. This necessitates that the international community stands firmly against the Israeli practices that undermine any hope to reach the desired peace, including the continuation of the Israeli activity in building settlements and the insistence on Jewish Israel, and continuing violation of the simplest legitimate rights of the Palestinian people on their territory and homeland. --More 14:32 LOCAL TIME 11:32 GMT تغريد
