KUALA LUMPUR - Morocco has called for the Arab League to convene an emergency meeting at the foreign ministers’ level to discuss the deteriorating situation in the Gaza Strip following Israeli military aggression since Saturday.

The Moroccon embassy in a statement here said King Mohammed VI, who is chair of the current Council of the Arab League, had instructed for the need to find ways to halt this dangerous escalation that targeted civilians.

It said intensive consultations are underway for the meeting to be held this week at its headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.
