Arab FMs: No normalization, divestment for all settlement supporters

[Ma'anImages]Bethlehem – Ma’an – Arab states will see no normalization of ties with Israel following the announcement of settlement expansions in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Arab Foreign Ministers announced Thursday.

The statement was released following the 132nd session of the Arab League Council of Foreign Ministers in Cairo, and urged “countries or organizations that support settlement work to dry-up the financial resources of settlement builders.”

The Arab ministers called on all countries and institutions involved to divest from companies involved in funding settlements, a statement from the ministers said. Secretary General of the Arab league Amr Mousa, added that, “with Israel’s continued settlement activity, talk about normalization has been rejected.”

Moussa added that “Settlement building is a violation of international laws and until it is stopped or frozen we will not reward Israel for any sort of commitment to international resolutions,” but will only be “rewarded” when it begins progress on the Arab Peace Initiative.
