The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip continues, and the brutal massacres against the besieged Palestinian people, deprived of the basic necessities of life, persist. However, in contrast, global popular support for the Palestinian cause continues to grow every day, reaching unprecedented levels, heralding a major international awakening and a rapid shift in the balance of global power in favor of Palestinian rights.

In this context, the Arab Council renews its gratitude and appreciation for the bold decision of Spain, Ireland, and Norway to fully recognize the Palestinian state. It calls on all Western countries to take similar steps in the coming days, in order to preserve their credibility and safeguard strategic relations with the Arab nation.

The Council also expresses its highest appreciation to the United Nations Secretary-General for his principled and noble stance, for which he is now paying the price through defamation and threats.

The Council thanks all Western supporters of justice, including students, parliamentarians, activists, and an increasing number of Jews who have freed themselves from the Zionist narrative and stood in support of justice, affirming the existence of shared human values that transcend ethnic and religious affiliations.

On behalf of the Arab Council
President Moncef Marzouki
