(MENAFN) The Arab League expressed its support on Monday of Spain's preparation to identify Palestine as a state.
Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit stated "that approach indicated longstanding friendly ties between Spain and all the Arab countries."
In a statement, the secretary general suggested that the decision is a reflection to Spain and its people's strong commitment to the Palestinian cause.
Aboul-Gheit said: "the current U.S. administration policies starting with the transfer of its embassy to Jerusalem last May unveiled its complete prejudice to the Israeli agenda. Those policies require all the peace-loving powers to stand by the Palestinians in their legitimate peaceful struggle."
He added that recognizing Palestine as a state "is necessary to protect the endangered two-state solution."
