DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia, April 15 -- With almost all the focal issues reiterated, the one-day Arab League (AL) Summit again presented unwavering stands of the attendees, but no clear-cut way out for the utterly chaotic region.
Syrian crisis, Jerusalem issue, Yemen war, Iran's role ... seem never stopping headlining world media reports, and here again peaked Arab leaders' appeals in the 29th AL Summit held in eastern Saudi Arabia's city of Dhahran on Sunday, with member state leaders and world organization heads attending the meeting.
"SUMMIT FOR JERUSALEM"
All the speeches delivered during the summit presented an agreed point of view: Jerusalem is the capital of the State of Palestine.
Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud directly named the summit this year is "Summit for Jerusalem," and announced an aid of 200 million U.S. dollars for the Palestinians, of which 150 million dollars for religious course and the rest for Palestinian refugees.
The king said "the Palestinian case is our priority and will remain until all the Palestinians gain their rights," stressing that Jerusalem is the capital of the State of Palestine.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas appreciated the supports of Saudi Arabia and other Arab states, and said the Palestinians would not flinch in fighting for their rights and protecting Jerusalem.
He stressed that East Jerusalem has been and will always be the capital of Palestine, and censured the U.S. President Donald Trump's decision as breach of international law and his continuous support for Israel which commits crimes against the Palestinians.
