Cairo, Sept. 5 (Petra) — Jordan’s Permanent Representative to the
Arab League, Ambassador Amjad Adailah, on Saturday headed the
Jordanian delegation participating in a meeting of the Council of the
League of Arab States at the level of permanent representatives,
convened for the council’s 166th session under the chairmanship of
Tunisia.

During the discussions, Adailah presented Jordan’s position on the
issues on the session’s agenda, stressing the Kingdom’s support for
just Arab causes, foremost among them the Palestinian cause, and
highlighting Jordan’s political, diplomatic, legal, and humanitarian
efforts in support of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian
people.

In this context, the Arab League Council welcomed Jordan’s hosting of
the ministerial meeting in support of Jerusalem and its holy sites on
Aug. 5 in Amman. The meeting sought to confront illegal Israeli
policies and measures in Jerusalem. The council also stressed the
importance of following up on the implementation of the
recommendations and outcomes of the “Amman Declaration” issued by the
meeting.

Adailah highlighted Jordan’s active role, alongside other member
states, in reaching decisions and recommendations aimed at
strengthening the Arab position and enhancing collective coordination
and cooperation. These efforts seek to bolster Arab capacity to
address current challenges and the instability affecting the region
as a result of war and its repercussions, including security and
economic consequences.

He also reaffirmed Jordan’s rejection of attacks on the territory and
sovereignty of Arab states and of any interference in Arab affairs.

Regarding Jordanian contributions and initiatives aimed at addressing
the humanitarian and legal consequences of wars under the current
circumstances and strengthening mechanisms to protect civilians,
Adailah said the Kingdom had proposed hosting a high-level
international conference on the initiative to strengthen political
commitment to international humanitarian law during the final quarter
of this year.

The initiative has received the support and endorsement of Arab
member states, which also commended Jordan’s continued role in
regional and international forums in promoting states’ collective
commitment to respect international humanitarian law and coordinate
efforts to protect civilians from wars and armed conflicts.

The meeting of Arab League permanent representatives is part of
preparations for the council’s ministerial-level meeting. It is also
intended to discuss items on the session’s agenda and submit
recommendations and draft resolutions to foreign ministers, whose
meeting is scheduled for Monday as part of the council’s regular
166th session.
