🔸️The Conference unanimously recommended by its members;

2- Emphasis on adherence to the assembly’s objectives and statutes, the assembly’s strategic document and the annex to the document, while emphasizing that they are the only documents that the assembly adopts and is held accountable for and has no organizational or political relationship with any other documents
3- Establishing a framework for Palestine that includes all the Palestinian factions, forces, bodies and gatherings that fall under the banner of the assembly, in order to activate the work to support the resistance of the Palestinian people in confronting the occupation in historical Palestine and in the diaspora, under the supervision of the General Coordinator for Palestine and member of the executive body of the assembly, Mr. Ihsan Ataya.
4- Establishing a framework for the assembly’s coordinators in the Gulf region to activate communication and joint struggle, under the supervision of the Assembly’s Assistant Secretary-General, former MP Dr. Abdul Hamid Dashti.
5- Giving importance to the African continent in all its activities, especially the “Horn of Africa region and the Red Sea Basin” under the supervision of the General Secretary of the Gathering in order to follow the Zionist infiltration in normaling Gulf states through information and preparation of studies.
6-The Conference also stressed on confronting American imperialism and Zionism and supporting the choice of resistance in all parts of the world, where there is occupation, arrogance, sanctions, siege on peoples, and external interference.
The resistance has demonstrated not only its resilience, but its ability to impose defeat upon imperialism, and to promote cooperation among all the nations of the world that want to decide their own fate.
This cooperation transcends races, religions and borders to impose a new world order that respects peoples, their cultures and sovereignty, and seeks partnership and networking, not hegemony and confrontation.
Therefore, the conference confirmed the activation of the global framework and participation in international forums. This is to be done through the general coordinators of the Gathering in these countries, under the supervision of the assistant general secretary of the assembly, Dr. Tim Anderson, in cooperation with the Assistant Secretary-General, Dr. Abdul Hamid Dashti, through his presidency of the International Council for Fair Trial and Human Rights in Geneva.
May you always be an asset to struggle and give sacrifices. Victory for the axis of resistance in all parts of the world. Glory and eternity to the martyrs of the resistance.
