The statement also welcomed efforts by former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan, calling for its full implementation while emphasizing that Palestinians must not be compelled to leave their homeland. The ministers stressed the urgent need for a ceasefire in Gaza and the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid to address the ongoing crisis.
The joint declaration called for immediate reconstruction and rehabilitation of Gaza and emphasized the importance of creating favorable conditions for the Palestinian Authority to resume responsibilities in the region. Coordination with regional and international partners, including the United States, will continue to ensure support for these initiatives.
Furthermore, the statement reaffirmed support for a two-state solution, based on the 1967 borders, and recognized East Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent Palestinian state. The ministers highlighted the critical role of international cooperation in maintaining peace, stability, and human security in Gaza and across the region.
Analysts say this unified stance by Islamic nations reflects growing concern over humanitarian and political developments in Palestine. It signals strong diplomatic pressure on Israel to respect international law and underscores the commitment of Muslim-majority countries to Palestinian self-determination.
The joint statement also called for the protection of civilians, restoration of essential services, and the urgent need for long-term peace efforts to prevent further conflict. By presenting a unified front, these countries aim to strengthen negotiations, ensure accountability, and foster a framework for sustainable peace in the Middle East.
