The Arab foreign ministers will hold on Monday an emergency meeting in Cairo to discuss recent developments in the region, means of strengthening Arab solidarity, as well as ways of dealing with the anticipated foreign policies of the new Biden administration in Washington. According to Al-Arabiya, the meeting, which will be led by Egypt as the current chair of the Arab League (AL), could see the passing of a resolution reaffirming the AL's commitment to a two-state solution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and Arab countries's support to the Palestinians. The meeting comes two days after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a preliminary ruling which stipulates the court has jurisdiction over the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967, paving the way for a possible opening of an investigation into violations and war crimes by Israel in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. The AL has welcomed the ICC's decision. More to follow
