Mr. Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, issued a strong condemnation of the publication by official Israeli accounts of maps falsely claimed to be historical, which depicted Arab lands in Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria as part of Israeli territory.
Gamal Roshdy, the official spokesman for the Secretary-General, said that this act is far from incidental and should be understood within the broader context of the Israeli government's right-wing extremism and its growing obsession with religious mythology. He highlighted that such actions reflect an alarming trend of invoking historical fabrications and promoting them as legitimate facts.
Roshdy pointed out that Israeli officials have previously declared intentions to annex the West Bank and reestablish settlements in Gaza, asserting that the publication of these maps is a manifestation of the deeply extremist agenda pursued by a government that poses a genuine threat to regional stability and peaceful coexistence among its peoples.
Quoting Mr. Aboul Gheit, Roshdy warned that the international community's failure to address such provocative actions and irresponsible rhetoric risks exacerbating extremism and counter-extremism on all sides.
