Riyadh: The Extraordinary Arab and Islamic Summit, which concluded in Riyadh today, issued the following resolution: "We, leaders of the states and governments of the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, gathered on the kind invitation of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and under the chairmanship of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and based on our decision to merge the extraordinary Arab and Islamic summits that the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation had decided to organize at the request of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to discuss the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people on November 11, 2023, meet today in the city of Riyadh in response to the escalating events, and after consultations conducted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the request of the State of Palestine and some other Member States, and with the kind hosting of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

While we affirm the centrality of the Palestinian cause and the firm support for the Palestinian people to achieve their legitimate and inalienable national rights, foremost among which is their right to freedom and to an independent, sovereign state on the lines of June 4, 1967, with East Al-Quds as its capital, and the right of refugees to return and to compensation in accordance with the relevant resolutions of international legitimacy, particularly Resolution 194, and confront any attempts to deny or undermine these rights; reaffirming that the Palestinian cause is like all just causes of peoples struggling to get rid of the occupation and obtain their rights.

While we reaffirm the full sovereignty of the State of Palestine over occupied East Al-Quds, the eternal capital of Palestine, and reject any Israeli decisions or measures aimed at Judaizing it and consolidating its colonial occupation of the city, considering such decisions and measures null, void and illegitimate under international law and relevant United Nations’ resolutions, considering Al-Quds Al-Sharif a red line for the Arab and Islamic nations, and reaffirming our absolute solidarity in protecting the Arab and Islamic identity of occupied East Al-Quds and in defending the sanctity of the holy Islamic and Christian sites therein, While we affirm our absolute support for the Lebanese Republic, its security, stability, sovereignty and the safety of its citizens.

We decide:

1-To affirm the resolutions issued by the First Extraordinary Joint Summit in the city of Riyadh in November 2023, to renew our strong countering of the brutal Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, and to work to end its disastrous humanitarian repercussions on civilians, children, women, elderly and unarmed civilians, to continue to act, in coordination with the international community, in order to put an end to the serious Israeli violations of international law and international humanitarian law, and to Israel’s jeopardizing of regional and international peace and security, reaffirming the resolutions of the 33rd Arab Summit, held in the Kingdom of Bahrain in May 2024, and the 15th Islamic Summit, held in the Republic of Gambia in May 2024;

2-To warn of the danger of the escalation sweeping the region and its regional and international consequences, of the expansion of the aggression that has lasted over one year on the Gaza Strip, and extended to include Lebanon, and of the violation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq, the Syrian Arab Republic and the Islamic Republic of Iran, without the international community’s concern.

3-To insist on the implementation of all relevant resolutions issued by the United Nations’ General Assembly, including Resolution No. A/RES/ES-10/22 on the protection of civilians and adherence to legal and humanitarian obligations dated December 10, 2023, and the resolutions issued by the Security Council, and the need for the Security Council to adopt a binding resolution, under Chapter VII of the United Nations’ Charter, to compel Israel, the occupying power, to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, to allow the entry of immediate and sufficient humanitarian aid to all areas of the Strip, and to implement Security Council Resolutions 2735 (2024), 2728 (2024), 2720 (2023), and 2712 (2023), which call for taking urgent steps to immediately allow the delivery of humanitarian aid in a broad, safe and unhindered manner, and Resolution No. 2728, which calls for a ceasefire, as well as the resolutions that affirm the right of the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable rights, including the right to self-determination, national independence and the right of refugees to return, and the resolutions that affirm the permanent responsibility of the United Nations for the Palestinian issue until it is resolved in all its aspects; and to call on the Security Council to follow up on the international consensus expressed in the UNGA Resolution dated May 10, 2024 that the State of Palestine is qualified for full membership in the United Nations, calling to issue a resolution granting the State of Palestine full membership in the United Nations, and to urge Member States to mobilize the necessary support to adopt the resolution.
