New York, July 28 (QNA) - Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi stated that Their Highnesses and Excellencies the Foreign Ministers of the GCC countries held a coordination meeting on Monday on the sidelines of the high-level ministerial session of the United Nations (UN) Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-state Solution. Albudaiwi clarified that this coordination meeting comes as an affirmation of support for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's initiative to establish the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-state Solution, as well as to discuss joint efforts aimed at resolving the Palestinian issue and achieving international recognition of the State of Palestine, in addition to exchanging views on the tragic situation in the Gaza Strip. He mentioned that during the meeting, the Foreign Ministers, discussed a number of topics, foremost among them the latest developments in the Palestinian territories and the Gaza Strip, as well as coordination on the issues raised at the UN Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-state Solution. Albudaiwi also indicated that the meeting discussed the humanitarian developments in the Strip, especially in light of the unprecedented conditions that have led to a severe shortage of humanitarian aid. This is due to the intransigence and siege by Israeli occupation forces and their use of a policy of starvation against the people in the Gaza Strip, in violation of all international and UN norms, charters, and laws, which has led to the spread of famine and a severe shortage of medical supplies. The GCC foreign ministers demanded continued pressure on Israel to open all crossings to enable the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, he stressed. The GCC Secretary General also affirmed that during the meeting, it was emphasized that all regional and international efforts will be made in cooperation with countries, organizations, and institutions around the world to lift the siege on the brotherly Palestinian people and to bring in all humanitarian and relief aid urgently and without restriction.
