In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Egypt strongly condemned what they described as Israel’s continued violations in the Gaza Strip, including attacks on healthcare facilities, civilian infrastructure and the loss of civilian lives. The ministers said the continuation of the military campaign amounted to a breach of Israel’s obligations under international law and the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which they linked to Trump’s recent announcement that Palestinian factions had accepted the roadmap, including provisions related to the confinement of weapons. “The continuation of these violations… undermines international and regional efforts aimed at implementing the second phase of the Plan… and threatens to derail the political process, reignite the cycle of escalation, and further deepen the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip," the statement said.
The eight countries also called for the immediate protection of civilians, healthcare facilities and humanitarian workers, while urging unrestricted delivery of aid and medical supplies across Gaza. The foreign ministers further argued that developments in Gaza could not be viewed separately from violence in the occupied West Bank, the expansion of Israeli settlements and measures affecting the status of East Jerusalem. They said these actions undermine the prospects of a two-state solution and violate international law and relevant UN resolutions. Calling on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to take “practical and effective measures", the ministers urged action to ensure Israel complies with its obligations under international law and to hold those responsible for grave violations accountable. They also rejected any attempts to annex the Occupied Palestinian Territory, impose Israeli sovereignty over it or forcibly displace Palestinians, reiterating support for a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
