CAIRO: The Arab Parliament opened its fourth legislative term at Arab League headquarters in Cairo on Friday, the Jordan News Agency reported.
The session was opened by Speaker Mohammed bin Ahmed Al-Yamahi.
A Jordanian delegation participated, comprising members of the Jordanian Senate and House of Representatives who also serve in the Arab Parliament: Sen. Ihsan Barakat, and members of Parliament Ali Al-Khalaileh, Majhem Al-Suqour, and Atallah Al-Hunaiti.
During the session, participants reaffirmed that achieving a just and comprehensive peace in the region required establishing an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The Arab Parliament also urged all countries and relevant international institutions to take part in the upcoming reconstruction conference for Gaza, to be held in Egypt in November, and to contribute to rebuilding areas destroyed by the Israeli military operation in the enclave.
The session further underscored the need to continue holding Israel accountable before international courts for its alleged crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
