The attacks by the terrorist group Hamas against Israel are causing the vast majority of countries or organizations to take a position on this conflict. The Arab League has been one of the entities that has spoken out. He has done so through the King of Morocco, Mohamed VI, since his nation is the one that currently presides over his Council.
To address the issue, he has called an “urgent” meeting of the Arab League Council to coordinate and analyze this situation in the Middle East caused by the attack by the Hamas group last Saturday from Gaza.
The meeting of this entity has been confirmed to be held next Wednesday, October 11 in Cairo. It will be an emergency meeting at the level of foreign ministers to discuss the war between Palestine and Israel, as EFE has learned.
