On Monday, the league’s Assistant Secretary-General of Palestinian Affairs Ambassador Said Abu Ali criticized the lack of international will to end the Israeli occupation and support the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and statehood with Jerusalem as its capital. The statement was made at the 97th four-day meeting of the Conference of Supervisors of Palestinian Affairs in Cairo. Abu Ali called for 2017 to be the year that marks the end of the Israeli occupation.
