He considered that the failure that has affected the mechanisms of multilateral international action, foremost among them the United Nations and the Security Council, is nothing but an indicator of this acute crisis that continues to jeopardize the present and future of peace
, security, development, and prosperity in the world, explaining that the central cause is in dire need of a united and strong Arab nation to lead the supporters and those striving for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state as a just, permanent, and final solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
