Cairo, Ramadan 19, 1435, Jul 16, 2014, SPA -- The Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union (AIPU) committee on foreign, political and security affairs convened an emergency meeting here on Wednesday to discuss the deteriorating situation in the Gaza Strip and increasing Israeli aggressions on the Palestinian people. AIPU President Ahmad Al-Jarwan addressed the meeting by saying that the gathering aims to discuss the Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people and how to find a way out of the current crisis in occupied Palestinian territories. He considered the Palestinian issue as the pivotal and central issues for all Arab countries and the entire Arab world is concerned over the current developments in the Gaza Strip. The chairman of the AIPU committee, Musallam Al-Mesheni said the meeting came at a time when the Palestinian people were subject to a brutal Zionist aggression as part of a series of Zionist atrocities against the innocent and disarmed people of Gaza. This aggression, in which the Zionists used warplanes and heavy weapons against the innocent Palestinian people in Gaza, has caused the death of at least 200 Palestinians and injury of several thousands, he regretted. --More 19:28 LOCAL TIME 16:28 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
