An official source in the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States confirmed that the League’s offices and missions abroad are currently working on following up the implementation of the mandates contained in the decision issued by the Ministerial Council two days ago regarding the Israeli aggression on Jerusalem and its people. 

The source added that "the councils of Arab ambassadors in the main capitals are working to move with the governments of the countries accredited to them to mobilize support for the Palestinian position in support of the Arab world regarding Israel's attacks on Jerusalem and its people, including the abuses and violations committed by the occupation forces on the Temple Mount, as well as their blatant practices." To pressure the people of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood to leave the city. " 

The responsible source explained that "the League's mission in New York is closely following the ongoing moves in the Security Council with the aim of holding Israel responsible for its attacks, especially in light of the dangerous escalation in the Gaza Strip," noting that "Tunisia - the Arab member of the Council - is leading these moves, while some seek to abort it, in order to protect Israel from exposure to any accountability or criticism. " 

 He added, "International sympathy with the suffering of Jerusalemites and the unjustified attacks and provocations they are exposed to, is evident in the recent events, and that this should be built upon by mobilizing more international support to expose the horrors of the Israeli occupation, whether in Jerusalem or in the occupied territories in general."

The source quoted Aboul Gheit as stressing that "the priority now is to stop the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip immediately, in order to avoid a mutual escalation, the repercussions of which may affect the entire region."
