The Arab Publishers Association condemns the Iranian attacks on Arab countries and denounces Israeli recklessness
The Arab Publishers Association, represented by its president, board members, and general assembly members, condemns the blatant assault carried out by the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran 
on several Arab countries, which resulted in significant losses of property and lives and the martyrdom of dozens of innocent people. The Arab Publishers Association expresses its unconditional solidarity with the Arab brethren affected by the Iranian attacks, affirming that the security of the Arab Gulf is an integral part of the security of the entire Arab nation, and that the independence and sovereignty of Arab countries is an issue that cannot be compromised or negotiated.
While the Arab Publishers Association condemns Iran's targeting of the safety and sovereignty of fraternal Arab lands, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Oman, Iraq, and Jordan, it does not overlook the role played by Israel, along with the United States of America, in leading this brutal war on Iran, and what this necessitates in terms of igniting the spark of war in the region and expanding the conflict across all fronts
While the Arab Publishers Association warns that the expansionist policies pursued by Israel and the United States, especially in Palestine and Lebanon, will only lead to further outbreaks of unrest in the Arab region, threatening all parties with more chaos and turmoil, it simultaneously calls for a swift return to the language of diplomatic dialogue to stop the escalation, adhere to international charters that require stopping Israeli lawlessness on one hand, and curbing Iran’s expansionist ambitions on the other. The Association also emphasizes respecting the sovereignty of independent states and their free will in protecting their lands and peoples.
In the context of condemning the treacherous Iranian strike that targeted a number of brotherly Arab countries, and what it represents as a violation of their sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the security of their peoples, the Arab Publishers Association remains aware of the imminent danger surrounding our Arab nation, represented by the American-Israeli project that seeks to resolve the Palestinian issue and create a new Middle East subject to American and Israeli dominance, aiming to extend its octopus-like grasp over the resources and fate of our peoples in a new settlement plan that reveals an abhorrent colonial face, fueled by the delusions and legends of a group of war criminals who are not restrained by law or charter, nor deterred by principles or treaties. This is all to inaugurate a Middle East stripped of its teeth and nails, and to undermine any progressive Arab project, leaving no option for all Arabs—peoples and governments—other than to awaken their awareness and unite against the hordes of this new colonialism.
May God protect our Arab nation from all evil, and spare it the scourge of wars and conspiracies.
President of the Arab Publishers Association
