Arab League Secretary-General Criticizes Israeli Rejection of Peace Plan

Cairo: Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy said statements by the Israeli prime minister rejecting his country's 15-point roadmap to complete implementation of the comprehensive peace plan in Gaza reveal an explicit disregard for international will and the foundations of the peace process. He said the Israeli prime minister's insistence that no Palestinian state be established in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank directly undermines prospects for a peaceful settlement and the establishment of a just and comprehensive peace. According to Saudi Press Agency, Fahmy stressed that continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire, including attacks targeting civilians and medical facilities in the Gaza Strip, constitute a blatant breach of existing obligations and relevant UN resolutions. He welcomed the clear position expressed by the foreign ministers of eight Arab and Islamic countries in their August 6 statement regarding these violations. He renewed his call for the full and serious implementation of the co mprehensive peace plan and for completing the process established by the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit in October 2025. Fahmy warned that continued Israeli attempts to impose new realities on the ground in the Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank seek to entrench the occupation and expand control over Palestinian territories. He said such attempts undermine the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state and blatantly contradict international law and relevant international legitimacy resolutions. The secretary-general called on US President Donald Trump and the international community to assume their responsibilities in ensuring the full implementation of the comprehensive peace plan in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2803 of 2025. He also called for pressure on the Israeli government to end its violations and fulfill its obligations in a manner that preserves prospects for a just and lasting settlement.
