Arab League to discuss Israeli attack on Sudan

The Arab League’s annual ministerial meeting to be be held in Cairo next week will discuss the Israeli attack on the Yarmouk Industrial Complex in Khartoum, Sudan.

According to the Sudanese Media Services Centre, the League’s Deputy Secretary General, Ahmed Bin Heli, called the attack “a dangerous precedent”. The Arab League, he said, had issued a clear statement condemning this act of aggression. He stressed the importance of Arab coordination in support of Sudan’s position when the issue is raised at the UN Security Council.
