AU Leaders Call for an End to Normalization with Israel
African Union (AU) leaders have issued a strong condemnation of Israeli aggression in Gaza, urging member states to halt cooperation and normalization with Israel.
This came during the 38th African Union Summit which was held for two days in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians and must be prosecuted internationally, the summit’s final statement read.
“We call for an end to cooperation and normalization with Israel until it ends its occupation and aggression against Palestine.”
The African Union’s position aligns with increasing global scrutiny of Israel’s actions, as international bodies, including the International Court of Justice (ICJ), consider cases related to genocide and war crimes.
The final statement of the Arab League leaders also emphasized the need to prosecute the Israeli war criminals for committing crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip.
