CAIRO – Palestine’s Ambassador in Cairo and Its Permanent Delegate to the Arab League Diab Allouh said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is due in Cairo Saturday to take part in a conference to support Al Quds, due to kick off at the Arab League premises on Sunday, with the participation of high-level representation from Arab, regional and international bodies.
The Palestinian ambassador said according to MENA that Abbas’s participation at the conference aims at countering the practices of the Israeli occupation forces in light of the recent violent and ferocious attacks on Al Quds and its Islamic and Christian sanctities and amid a rise in the Israeli attempts to judaise the holy city, noting that the conference comes in the wake of the forming of a righ-wing Israeli government that seeks to destroy the two-state solution.
The Palestinian leader will shed light on the suffering of Al Quds residents and their right to defend their lands and their steadfastness in face of the occupants in a bid to garner up Arab and international support for residents of the holy city through funding a number of investment projects in the health, education and housing sectors as well as women empowerment, the ambassador said.
Abbas will float a proposal on setting up a voluntary Arab fund with the contribution of the Arab states, Arab development agencies and the private sector to finance small and medium-scale projects in Al Quds as well as forming a legal committee of Arab legal experts to follow up on the Israeli occupation crimes against the Palestinian people in the international tribunal courts, added the ambassador.
