The Arab League demanded the release of all Palestinian prisoners of Women and children, particularly the agreed upon final batch of prisoners held by Israel since before the 1993 Oslo agreements. In a statement marking 38th anniversary of the Earth Day, the league affirmed its support of the Palestinian people who seek to establish their independent state of Palestine within the 1967 borders and with east Al-Quds as its capital. According to WAFA, it called to lift the siege that has been imposed on the Gaza Strip by Israel for more than half a decade in total violation of the international law. It also called upon the international community to uphold its responsibilities and exert pressure on Israel to stop its settlement policy. The league stressed its total rejection to Israel's plans to judaize Jerusalem and the ongoing systematic attacks on holy sites in an attempt to change facts on ground and change the Palestinian-Arab identity. It further stressed that Israel must comply with United Nations' resolutions and the international legitimacy.
