Delegates to the 22-member Arab bloc based in Cairo are expected to pass a resolution denouncing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's pledge on Sunday that the Golan Heights would remain Israeli "forever."
Israel captured the Golan during the 1967 Middle East war with Syria, Egypt and Jordan. Its control over the territory has never been recognized by the international community.
Israel was acting like "a country that is above the law and accountability," Arabi told delegates at the start of the meeting.
He demanded "a special criminal court for the Palestinian cause" to try Israel, like the ones set up for Serbian war crimes.
- Saudi Arabia's ambassador in Cairo and delegate to the Arab League, Ahmed Qattan, accused Israel of trying to profit from the conflict in Syria.
- "The Zionist entity is exploiting the years of crisis in Syria," he said.
"The EU recognises Israel within its pre-1967 borders, whatever the government's claims on other areas, until a final settlement is concluded," Mogherini said.
"And this is a common consolidated position of the European Union and its member states," she added ahead of a meeting in Brussels for international donors supporting the Palestinian economy.
