Clarification on the article “The Arab question in Palestine”



[ad_1]

My article “The Arab Question in Palestine”, published in the newspaper “Al-Akhbar” (August 18, 2020), included a typo in the last line regarding the suspension of Egypt’s membership in the Arab League. The wrong date as mentioned is 11/2/1972, while the correct date is 11/2/1978.

To be more precise, the decision made at this summit under QQ 108/9 stipulates the following: “The Arab League continues to hold regular meetings in Arab countries, one after another, because its meetings in Cairo have been difficult due to the new political circumstances. In the event that the reconciliation between the Egyptian government and the Zionist enemy is signed, the Arab foreign ministers will meet in Baghdad to take the necessary measures to temporarily move the headquarters of the Arab League to another Arab capital, pending that provide the right political conditions for the return of Egypt to the fold of the Arab nation. And Egypt’s membership in the Arab League has been temporarily suspended for the same reason.
Following the signing of the peace treaty by Egypt and the Zionist enemy on March 26, 1979, a six-part committee was formed to oversee the transfer of the university headquarters to Tunis, after the latter’s approval, consisting of Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Algeria, led by Mr. Tayeb Al-Sobhani for Tunisia. . An extraordinary session of the Council of the Arab League was held in Tunis on 6/26/1979, during which Chadli al-Qulaibi was elected Secretary General for a period of ten years. The Tenth Arab Summit was held in the Tunisian capital on November 22, 1979.
In the end, it must be remembered that all Arab countries, except the Sultanate of Oman, broke their relations with Egypt after signing the peace treaty with the Zionist enemy. Regarding the return of Egypt to the Arab League, it took place on 5/23/1989 and the university headquarters returned to Cairo on 12/7/1990. And that’s another story.
