The permanent delegates will discuss the draft agenda of the council at the ministerial level on Wednesday also under Egypt’s presidency.

The prospective agenda includes political, economic and social files. At the top comes pressing issues in Palestine, Yemen, Syria, as well as Arab relations with regional, international and African blocs.

In terms of Palestine, the Arab Labor Organization-a specialized organization affiliated with the AL- had denounced on Sunday, during a meeting at AL headquarters, the Israeli violations against Arab laborers in the occupied Arab, Palestinian territories.

The session is being held amid recent clashes in the West Bank that began this year with Israeli forces' raid on Jenin refugee camp.

The situation has since escalated. 

Egypt condemned on Friday an Israeli minister’s call to “wipe out” the Palestinian village of Huwara as a “dangerous and unacceptable incitement to violence.”

The country also recently reasserted its full support for legitimate rights of Palestinians at the UN in February.

This was in light of Israel's consistent attacks in the past few months against cities of the West Bank that left dozens dead and many injured.
