RIYADH, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Al-Budaiwi Thursday emphatically condemned the Israeli occupation Knesset’s resolution that rejected the establishment of a Palestinian statehood.
In a press statement, Al-Budaiwi billed the move as an obvious breach of relevant international resolutions and proof of the occupation’s insistence on fueling tensions and jeopardizing regional and world security and stability.
He called on the international community to necessarily decry and condemn this unjust resolution, which reflects the Israeli occupation forces’ intention to widen the conflict.
The GCC chief, further, restated the GCC member countries’ support for the establishment of a Palestinian statehood on the June 4, 1967 border, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Earlier in the day, the Israeli occupation’s Knesset (parliament) reportedly passed a resolution that overwhelmingly rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state.
The Knesset passed the resolution with 68 votes i
n favor and just nine against it, according to Israeli occupation media reports.
