Tunisia mark reservations on the decision of Arab FMs regarding situation in Gaza

The Tunisian presidency announced today (Thursday) reservations on the text of the resolution issued by the meeting of Arab foreign ministers held yesterday in Cairo, which was devoted to discussing developments in the Gaza Strip.


The presidency said in a statement published at dawn today on its official Facebook page that President Kais Saied “assigned Foreign Minister Nabil Ammar to submit the following reservation to the text of the decision issued by the meeting of the Arab League Council at the ministerial level in its extraordinary session,” held on Wednesday in Cairo. .


It continued in her reservation that “Tunisia, which is firm in its positions and adheres to the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state on all of the land of Palestine with its capital, Al-Quds Al-Sharif... has reservations in its entirety” regarding the decision issued by the meeting of the Council of the League of Arab States at the ministerial level.


The Tunisian presidency attributed this reservation to the fact that "Palestine is not a file or a case in which there is a plaintiff and a defendant. Rather, it is a right of the Palestinian people that cannot be lapse by statute of limitations."


Tunisia called on all of humanity to support the right of the Palestinian people to “reclaim their stolen right to their stolen land, all of Palestine.”


The Arab foreign ministers had affirmed, in a resolution entitled “The Continuing Israeli Aggression against the Palestinian People,” issued at the conclusion of their meeting yesterday in Cairo, the immediate cessation of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.


They stressed "the necessity of lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip, immediately allowing the entry of aid, and canceling Israel's unjust decisions to stop supplying Gaza with electricity and cutting off water."


The ministers called on all parties to exercise restraint, and warned of the catastrophic humanitarian and security repercussions of the continuation and expansion of the escalation.


The Foreign Ministers condemned the killing and targeting of civilians on both sides and all acts contrary to international law and international humanitarian law, and stressed the need to protect civilians in line with common humanitarian values and international law, and to release civilians and all prisoners and detainees.


The intensity of fighting between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel has escalated since the movement launched an unprecedented attack against Israel under the name “Al-Aqsa Flood” last Saturday, to which the Israeli army responded by launching a military operation against it under the name “Iron Swords.”
