Arab League calls for an immediate end to the siege on Gaza


CAIRO, (PIC)-- The Arab League general secretariat on Thursday called for an immediate end of the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip for the past six years and called for the reopening of the border crossing.

This was in a report by the AL Secretary General, Nabil al-Arabi which was presented by the Deputy Secretary General for Palestinian and Arab occupied territories affairs, Muhammad Sabih, to the Arab affairs committee at the Egyptian parliament.

“The siege on the Gaza Strip is not legal and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and Geneva conventions [..] Israel implemented a one-sided withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and besieged it making life for Gaza people very difficult for which the occupation authorities are fully responsible.” the report read
