Cairo — Arab foreign ministers on Tuesday rejected Iranian meddling in the internal affairs of Arab countries and expressed full support for all steps being taken by Arab countries to repulse these interventions.

Draft resolutions passed at the conclusion of 150th session of Arab foreign ministers’ meeting in Cairo said that Arab countries will continue informing the pertinent UN agencies about Iranian meddling in their internal affairs and its violation of related international resolutions.

The ministers stressed developing an Arab action plan to repulse Iranian interventions.

They expressed support for the Yemeni government to combat terror and condemned Iran support for Houthis.

The ministers called on the ICC attorney general to open an urgent investigation into crimes against humanity being committed by Israel against unarmed Palestinian people. They urged Arab countries to pay their contributions to the UNRWA annual budget and comply with the Arab League resolutions and support the Palestinian state with a monthly $100 million contribution.
