34th Arab Summit rejects displacement of Palestinian people

The final communiqué of the 34th Arab Summit in Baghdad firmly rejected the displacement of the Palestinian people. It condemned the Israeli occupation forces’ attacks on Syria and called for a political solution to end the conflict in Sudan.

The communiqué urged the international community to act to stop the bloodshed in Gaza, noting that the summit’s goal is to unify efforts and serve the interests of the region’s peoples.

Arab leaders affirmed that the Iraqi initiatives presented during the summit reflect a comprehensive vision for addressing shared challenges and offer a dynamic starting point to develop joint Arab action towards development, stability, and prosperity.

In the Baghdad Declaration issued at the conclusion of the summit and the fifth Arab Economic and Social Development Summit, also held in Baghdad, leaders praised these initiatives as a vital foundation for advancing collective Arab action and embodying solidarity and integration among Arab states.

The declaration highlighted Iraq’s launch of several initiatives, foremost among them the establishment of the Arab Fund to Support Recovery and Reconstruction from the Effects of Crises. The Iraqi government announced a donation of 40 million US dollars to the fund — 20 million allocated to humanitarian aid and reconstruction in Gaza, and 20 million for reconstruction efforts in Lebanon.

The Baghdad Declaration also welcomed Iraq’s invitation to participate in the “Development Road” project, describing it as a strategic initiative linking Arab countries to global markets. It contributes to regional economic integration and includes a broad plan for Arab economic reform over the next decade. This aims to create a competitive, integrated Arab economic space, strengthen public-private partnerships, and uphold social justice and environmental sustainability.
