The final statement of the emergency Arab Islamic summit in Saudi Arabia confirmed that the Palestine Liberation Organization is the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.
The statement called on all Palestinian factions and forces to unite under the umbrella of the Liberation Organization, emphasizing the necessity for everyone to bear their responsibilities within a national partnership led by the Palestine Liberation Organization.
The statement also affirmed the centrality of the Palestinian issue and the collective Arab and Islamic countries meeting at the summit with all their energies and capabilities standing alongside the Palestinian people in their legitimate struggle and fight to liberate all their occupied lands, and to fulfill all their inalienable rights, especially their right to self-determination and living in their independent sovereign state on the lines of June 4, 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital.
The statement emphasized that a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace, which constitutes a strategic option, is the only way to ensure the security and stability of all the peoples of the region and protect them from cycles of violence and wars, and that it cannot be achieved without ending the Israeli occupation and resolving the Palestinian issue based on the two-state solution.
The statement added: "We affirm the impossibility of achieving regional peace by bypassing the Palestinian issue or attempts to ignore the rights of the Palestinian people, and that the Arab Peace Initiative, which was supported by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, is a fundamental reference."
