Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas addresses at the first Arab League summit since the United Arab Emirates normalised ties with the Jewish state in 2020. He urges Arab leaders to boost support for Palestine cause in the face of “crimes” committed by Israel. This address came at the time when veteran hawk Benjamin Netanyahu looks set to clinch an election victory. Without referring to the Israeli election, the president said that Israel was “systematically destroying the two-state solution and throwing away agreements it has signed”. He also urged Arab leaders to “save the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre before they’re Judaised”.
