NEW DELHI, Jan 31 (KUNA) -- Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmad Aboul-Gheit said Saturday ensuring global stability is contingent on justice in fundamental issues, mainly the Palestinian issue.
Aboul-Gheit made the statement in a speech he delivered at the meeting of the Arab-Indian Cooperation Forum, hosted by New Delhi.
He underlined that the continued absence of an independent Palestinian state places the Middle East region under tensions and instability, the Arab League said in a press statement.
He added that the global order can only be built on multilateral international action that serves the interests of all peoples without discrimination or injustice, noting that the Arab region is experiencing an extremely dangerous juncture.
In this regard, he pointed out the Israeli occupation's aggression against the Gaza Strip, "which has crossed all boundaries of law and human morality", and resulted in claiming the lives of approximately 72,000, tens of thousands of injuries and widespread social devastation.
The Cairo-based Arab bloc's chief sounded the alarm about the Israeli occupation's attempts to impede ongoing efforts to restore stability, emphasizing that Gaza marks part of the Palestinian issue.
He hoped that India would play an effective role in defending the two-state solution as ethical commitment and strategic necessity. (pickup previous) mm.mt
