Abul Gheit commends Russia's support for Palestine, rejection of US decision on Golan
Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Abul Gheit
commended Russia's stand vis-a-vis the Palestinian file as well as rejection of
the US' decision to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan.
Addressing the opening of the fifth session of the
Russian-Arab Cooperation Forum in Moscow on Tuesday, Abul Gheit said the US
decision jeopardizes the Middle East peace process.
He noted that Arab countries urge Moscow to continue
to support Palestinian and Arab stands, especially at the United Nations
Security Council.
He hailed the great development in Arab-Russian ties
since 2009.
Earlier in the day, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov inaugurated the forum in the presence of Arab League Secretary General
Ahmed Abul Gheit and 14 Arab foreign ministers.
