The Cabinet also expressed hope that the Summit's result would support Arab efforts aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace in the region and restoring all legitimate rights to the brotherly Palestinian people, foremost of which is their right to establish their independent state on their lands occupied in 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
