Cairo, June 28 (Petra) — The Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union and the
Arab Parliament adopted a unified legislative position on regional
security challenges, cyber sovereignty, and diplomatic mediation
during a summit at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo on Sunday.

The eighth conference of the Arab Parliament and heads of Arab
councils and parliaments concluded with the adoption of several
resolution frameworks aimed at safeguarding the sovereignty and
security of Arab states.

Lawmakers passed a parliamentary resolution renewing full support for
Palestinian rights and rejecting ongoing campaigns aimed at
liquidating the Palestinian cause, affirming its status as the
central issue for the Arab region.

The summit also adopted a resolution firmly rejecting Iranian
military actions that targeted several Arab countries, declaring that
the protection of Arab national security and state sovereignty
remains a collective, non-negotiable priority. A separate resolution
condemned Israeli military strikes on Lebanon and Syria, as well as
Israeli interventions in the Federal Republic of Somalia, reaffirming
support for the territorial integrity and stability of those nations.

To address technological advancements, the heads of parliament
approved a guiding Arab parliamentary vision to enhance regional
digital sovereignty. The framework is designed to help Arab states
upgrade domestic legislation regarding cybersecurity, data
protection, digital integration, and the regulation of artificial
intelligence and emerging digital technologies.

The Arab parliamentary leaders welcomed a memorandum of understanding
signed between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran
aimed at addressing outstanding disputes, including the cessation of
military operations and guaranteeing the freedom of navigation
through the Strait of Hormuz.

The summit praised the joint mediation efforts led by Qatar and
Pakistan, alongside the diplomatic contributions of Egypt and Oman,
in ongoing negotiations to foster regional stability through dialogue
and peaceful mechanisms.

On Yemen, the gathering reaffirmed its support for the legitimate
Yemeni government and the country’s territorial unity, backing a
comprehensive political resolution based on national dialogue
outcomes and relevant international resolutions.

The conference concluded with a call to sustain continuous
coordination among Arab legislative bodies and activate parliamentary
diplomacy to protect shared interests across regional and
international forums.
