Supervisors of Palestinian Affairs Conference Welcomes Qatar, Egypt Efforts to Stop Aggression Against Gaza

The Conference of Supervisors of Palestinian Affairs in the Host Arab Countries has welcomed the continued efforts by the State of Qatar and the Arab Republic of Egypt to stop the aggression, achieve Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, accelerate the entry of humanitarian aid, and launch the process of rebuilding the Strip.

At the conclusion of its 111th session, which was held at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States in Cairo over a period of four days, the conference condemned the war of extermination practiced by the Israeli war government in the Gaza Strip, which claimed the lives of more than 36,000 martyrs, 82,000 wounded, thousands of missing persons, field executions, and the ongoing siege on the Gaza Strip, in addition to military control of the Rafah crossing, and the practice of starvation and forced displacement of more than 1.7 million Palestinians from their homes in full view of the world in a heinous crime that rises to the level of war crimes and crime
s against humanity.

The conference also condemned the Israeli re-occupation of the Rafah crossing on the State of Palestine, which stopped the flow of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, as well as the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian city of Rafah and the crimes against humanity it is committing that threaten to worsen the situation in the region. It called on the international community to provide international protection for the Palestinian people and put pressure on them, in order to immediately stop the Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip, facilitate the entry of aid and relief, and begin financing the reconstruction process for everything that the occupation army destroyed in the Strip, in addition to rebuilding the infrastructure in the camps in the northern West Bank, calling on the International Criminal Court to hold Israeli war criminals accountable.

The conference condemned the repeated raids on the Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the calls made by the leaders of extremist religious parti
es to conduct the ritual slaughter of the red cow (slaughtering sacrifices), and allocating cash rewards to extremist settlers and extremists for doing so, inside the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, as a step towards demolishing the Dome of the Rock and erecting the alleged temple, in addition to the participation of 4,345 colonists in the process of storming the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Jewish Passover, and the Israeli occupation authorities storming of the land of the Friday market, near the northeastern corner of the Jerusalem Wall, and bulldozing it, confirming the Jordanian Hashemite custodianship over the Islamic and Christian holy sites in the occupied city of Jerusalem.

The conference also condemned the attacks targeting the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Gaza Strip, especially employees, shelter centers, warehouses, vocational training centers and health centers, calling for the formation of an international committee to conduct a fair and transparent
international investigation into the occupations crimes against UNRWA and its employees, centers and institutions. In particular, the killing of 192 of the agencys relief employees in the Gaza Strip, the destruction of more than 172 of its facilities, the killing of hundreds of displaced people, and the wounding of thousands through the direct targeting of shelter centers, and the investigation of the mass graves that are being uncovered inside these centers and hospitals.

The conference also demanded, in this regard, an investigation into Israels (the occupying power) arrest of many UNRWA employees and subjecting them to brutal torture to extract confessions from its employees, and using these confessions to discredit UNRWA and mislead international public opinion, to impose a further financial blockade on it. .

The conference welcomed the report of the independent review committee formed by the Secretary-General of the United Nations and headed by former French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, stressin
g the necessity of joint coordination between the host Arab countries and the League of Arab States to prepare a study on the committees recommendations to be presented to the UNRWA Advisory Committee meeting, which will be held in Geneva on June 24 and 25.
