Pakistan, Egypt, Turkiye, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have jointly condemned Israel's "continued illegal settlement policies in the occupied Palestinian territory." The foreign ministers of these nations unequivocally reject the 'E1' settlement plan and related activities east of occupied East Jerusalem.
They emphasized that such actions violate international law, pose a threat to regional peace and security, and undermine the viability of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

They reaffirmed their commitment to the two-state solution, as outlined in international law and UN resolutions, and called for an end to illegal settlements and the 'E1' plan.
