Cairo, July 5 : Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit said on Wednesday that Arab countries are in a real battle at the diplomatic level to guarantee the Palestinian rights.

Addressing the closing session of the second legislative chapter of the Arab Parliament in Cairo, Aboul-Gheit said the Arab countries are working to ensure that the US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel would not be followed by other countries, Xinhua reported.

The Arab League is now undertaking necessary contacts for expediting the formation of a fact-finding committee to probe into the crimes Israel has committed in the Gaza Strip since March 30, he added.

He noted that the Arab countries managed to get the United Nations to pass a resolution on June 13 to provide international protection for the Palestinian people.

The Arab League stressed that the Palestinian cause will always remain the cause of all Arabs until the conflict is solved with an end to the occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The US moved its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May despite regional and international outcry, after President Donald Trump declared the disputed holy city as Israel's capital in December.

New Delhi: Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh passed away at the age of 92. He was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) on Thursday after his health reportedly detoriated.

According to sources, Dr. Singh was brought to the hospital's emergency department around 8 PM. However, the specific reason for his hospitalisation has not yet been disclosed.

Dr. Manmohan Singh is widely recognized for his pivotal role in steering India’s economic liberalisation as Finance Minister in the PV Narasimha Rao government from 1991 to 1996. His economic reforms during that period marked a transformative era for the Indian economy.

Serving as Prime Minister for two consecutive terms from 2004 to 2014 under the UPA government, Dr. Singh has been a towering figure in Indian politics. Until earlier this year, he was a member of the Rajya Sabha, retiring in April after decades of public service.
