| The AL called for accelerating the achievement of a comprehensive political settlement through a process of dialogue in accordance with the UN efforts in order to end the suffering of the Libyan people. "The Arab leaders affirmed their full support for all efforts aimed at eradicating terrorist organizations and the threats they pose to Libya and the Arab region," it said. With regard to the Syrian issue, seriously discussed at the summit despite the absence of the Syrian president, the final statement confirmed the will of the Arab leaders to reach a political settlement that ends the crisis in Syria and the suffering of its people by achieving their aspirations to live in security and peace, and preserving Syria's unity, sovereignty and independence. The final statement considers the Golan Heights as occupied Syrian land, in accordance with the international law, UN resolutions and Security Council. Arab leaders strongly reject the U.S. decision to recognize the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, because it represents a serious violation of international resolutions and a threat to the stability of the Arab region. The final statement also shed light on other issues, including the critical situation in Yemen and Iraq.
