In a statement marking the 49th anniversary of Palestinian Land Day, Al Yamahi praised the Palestinian people’s struggle as a symbol of resilience, steadfastness, and justice. He reiterated the Arab Parliament’s solidarity with Palestinians in defending their land, history, sanctities, and national identity.
Al Yamahi emphasised the need for peace based on UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, advocating for a two-state solution with Jerusalem as the capital of an independent Palestinian state.
The statement also condemned the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing targeting Palestinians, resulting in numerous civilian deaths and missing persons. He highlighted the continued efforts to forcibly displace Gaza’s population and ongoing violations in the West Bank and Jerusalem, including settler militia attacks.
The President firmly rejected any plans aimed at displacing the Palestinian people or annexing their land, affirming the Parliament’s commitment to international law and Palestinians’ right of return and dignified living on their land.
Al Yamahi reaffirmed support for Arab positions and Egypt’s plan to rebuild Gaza, stressing the importance of a comprehensive reconstruction process that ensures Palestinians remain on their land.
He called on the international community, the UN Security Council, and regional parliaments to oppose displacement and annexation plans, halt violations, support humanitarian efforts, and enable Palestinians to exercise their legitimate rights.
Al Yamahi urged the application of international justice to achieve a fair, sustainable resolution to the Palestinian cause, ensuring the end of occupation, the establishment of an independent state, the right of return, and the resolution of the refugee issue.
