Tunisia-Sabri Bachtobji: Justice and the rights of the Palestinians are not negotiable

Tunisia reemphasised at the emergency meeting of Arab foreign ministers which took place at the headquarters of the Arab League General Secretariat its assistance to the Palestinian people in their struggle to reclaim their legitimate rights to self-determination and to build an independent free state on their land limited to the 1967 borders.

“Justice and the rights of the Palestinians are not negotiable,” states interim Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sabri Bachtobji.

In his address, Bachtobji estimated that “the US vision redirects the Palestinian cause from the legitimacy and resolutions sanctified by the international community during the past decades”.

“Destroying the established benchmarks of the peace process and the failure to achieve solutions commensurate with the just Palestinian cause could fuel tension in the Arab region, renew conflicts and threaten the security and stability of the Middle East,” the Foreign Affairs Department announcement related.

Based on its status as a non-permanent member of the Security Council, Tunisia called for a unified Arab stance towards new progress concerning the Palestinian cause in order to initiate collective and practical action at the international level in aid of the legitimate rights of the Palestinians.

The Council of Arab Foreign Ministers had refused the US vision, better identified as the “Deal of the Century”, emphasising the Arab Foreign Ministers’ commitment to the peace process and international resolutions.

It also emphasised the willingness of the foreign ministers to interact quickly with all international parties to take the necessary measures against any plan that violates the rights of the Palestinians and tramples on the fundamentals of the peace process.

The Tunisian committee participated in the emergency meeting of Arab Foreign Ministers in the presence of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The meeting concentrated on the US “Middle East peace plan”.
