STORYLINE:

Arab League chief Ahmed Aboul-Gheit received on Thursday Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva who is currently visiting Cairo.
   
He asserted there would not be peace without the establishment of a Palestinian state and called for an immediate ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

He announced his government will make a new contribution to the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), which is facing a cash crunch after Israel alleged that 12 of its 13,000 staff in Gaza were involved in the Oct. 7 attack.
   
Da Silva gave a speech at the Arab League headquarters, criticizing Israel for its reaction against Hamas.

"The (Israeli) response is disproportional and unacceptable. It represents a terrible tragedy in current world. The human, material and financial losses can't be compensated. In Gaza, for example, there are about 30,000 victims, including women, men, the elderly, and children."

The war has so far claimed the lives of at least 28,663 Palestinians and wounded 68,395 others, mostly civilians, according to the Gaza-based Media Office. 

The Israeli death toll from Hamas and Hezbollah attacks reached about 1,400, most of them killed during the initial Hamas cross-border surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7 last year, according to official Israeli figures.
