Cairo: The State of Qatar, represented by its permanent delegation to the Arab League, participated in the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Nakba and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, organized by the Arab League’s General Secretariat today at its headquarters in Cairo.
Assistant Arab League Secretary-General for Palestine and the Occupied Arab Territories Affairs Ambassador Said Abu Ali said in a speech on behalf of the Secretary-General that the Nakba’s anniversary recalls the terrible tragedy that befell the Palestinian people as a result of the occupation of their land, their unjust and aggressive displacement, and their being subjected to a series of heinous crimes and massacres.
He added that this occasion is also a reminder of the continued absence of international justice and the Palestinian people’s continuous cry out to global conscience for more than seven decades.
He added that crimes committed will not fall under a statute of limitations no matter how much times passes, calling for the activation of international justice mechanisms to prosecute Israeli officials for their crimes and holding them accountable, explaining that the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the International Criminal Court to expedite its procedures in order to achieve this goal and ending this impunity.
