The Australian government's decision to view Israeli settlements as illegal was applauded by the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States, who also commended the Australian government's determination to refer to the area as the "Occupied Palestinian Territories, including East part of Al-Quds."
In a statement, the General Secretariat of the Arab League noted that this well-received action is crucial because it makes it obvious that the occupation authority must accept international legitimacy's rulings and abide by international law.
In exchange, it condemns any actions that interfere with the rights of the Palestinian people to reclaim their land and build an independent state with Al-Quds as its capital. It also emphasized its desire for similar attitudes from other nations.
