This Arab-Islamic move is undertaken on behalf of all Member States of the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. It is also designed to pressure for launching a serious and genuine political process that would lead to the achievement of lasting and comprehensive peace, in accordance with the established international terms of reference, as well as for taking deterrent measures to halt the crimes of the colonial occupation authorities against humanity, while ensuring urgent relief corridors to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe in the besieged Gaza Strip. This action also aims at pressuring for taking all measures, in accordance with international law and international humanitarian law, to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its blatant violations and crimes in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, including East Al-Quds, as well as against Islamic and Christian sanctities, particularly the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
