TUNIS: Arab foreign ministers prepared a number of draft resolutions on Friday ahead of the 30th Arab League Summit in the Tunisian capital.
The preparatory meeting covered several issues tabled for discussion at the summit, and adopted a number of draft resolutions that will be submitted to Arab leaders on Sunday.
The draft resolutions deal with the Palestinian cause, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, and developments in Syria, Yemen and Libya.
The meeting condemned Iranian interference in Arab states’ internal affairs as a violation of international law, the principle of good neighborliness and the sovereignty of states.
The meeting demanded that Tehran cease provocative acts that undermine confidence-building, threaten regional security and stability, and fuel sectarian conflicts.
A draft resolution strongly condemns the continued firing of Iranian-made ballistic missiles by the Houthi militia in Yemen at Saudi Arabia, including Makkah, Islam’s holiest city. The Tehran-backed Houthis have launched 200 missiles at the Kingdom.
The draft resolution also denounces Iran’s continued interference in Bahrain’s internal affairs by supporting terrorism, training terrorists, smuggling arms and explosives, and inciting sectarian strife.
The draft resolution stresses the need for Tehran to stop supporting groups that fuel sectarian conflicts, especially in the Arab Gulf states, and to stop financing militias and armed groups in Arab countries.
The foreign ministers also prepared a draft resolution on Iran’s occupation of the three Emirati islands of Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa. The draft resolution affirms the UAE’s absolute sovereignty over its three islands.
