In a virtual emergency meeting chaired by the UAE, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the Arab League Secretary-General, criticized Iran for its recent military actions against several Arab countries. He described these attacks as reckless and unjustifiable, emphasizing that such aggression cannot be defended under any pretext. Aboul Gheit warned Iran that its actions represent a significant strategic error that could escalate tensions in the already volatile region.

During the meeting, Egyptian Foreign Minister called for revitalizing the concept of Arab national security in light of escalating military threats. Aboul Gheit reiterated that Arab nations are not involved in the ongoing war but have expressed their refusal to allow their territories to be used as bases for attacks against Iran. This is a crucial statement that underlines the Arab countries' stance of neutrality regarding the conflict while still highlighting their vulnerability to external aggression.

As various Arab ministers discussed ways to confront this situation, the meeting was framed as a necessary response to protect regional stability and sovereignty. Aboul Gheit's remarks reflect broader concerns that Iran’s actions could destabilize the region further, jeopardizing not only the Arab states but potentially international peace as well. The calls for Iran to reassess its foreign policy are poised to impact future diplomatic relations in the Middle East.
