WAM

The Arab League has announced that Israel has barred a scheduled visit by its Secretary-General, Nabil Fahmy, to the occupied Palestinian territories.

In a statement, the official spokesperson for the Secretary-General highlighted how Palestinians are living under siege in their towns and villages, while facing expanding settlement activity, road closures, and attacks carried out by Israeli settlers.

He also called on the international community to strengthen the resilience of the Palestinians in the face of the Israeli violations and practices they continue to endure.

The spokesperson noted that defending the two-state solution demands concrete and sustained actions from all peace-loving nations.
