Arab League vows to fight diplomatic battles for Palestinian rights
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.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
