The League of Arab States strongly condemned the Iranian attacks against the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, saying they constitute a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of states that advocate peace, have worked towards achieving stability, and did not participate in the war.
In a statement issued Saturday, the Arab League’s General Secretariat expressed its full solidarity with the Arab states in confronting these attacks and affirmed its support for any measures they take to defend themselves and ensure the safety of their peoples.
It stressed that Arab nations had taken clear positions regarding the Iranian crisis by rejecting military action against Tehran, and that several Arab countries exerted tremendous efforts in mediation to avoid the escalation now being witnessed.
The General Secretariat warned of the grave danger inherent in the current situation in the region, urging all active parties in the international community to work toward de-escalation as soon as possible, spare the region the consequences of widening instability and violence, and return to dialogue.
