The Fatah delegation updated Aboul Gheit on regional developments, focusing on the ongoing conflict in Gaza and violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Aboul Gheit emphasized the importance of Palestinian unity to establish a state and addressed the need to end the division between the Palestinian Authority and Fatah, which has been ongoing since 2007.
Aboul Gheit, the Arab League's secretary-general, listened to leaders discussing ways to strengthen Palestinian resistance in the West Bank and Gaza.
He expressed the Arab League's continued support for the Palestinian Authority's efforts to gain global support for Palestinian rights.
Aboul Gheit emphasized the horrific brutality and lack of humanity displayed during the Gaza crisis, which had shocked people worldwide.
