Joint Statement by Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye and KSA
The Ministers of Foreign Affairs from the United Arab Emirates, Türkiye, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia expressed their approval for the United Kingdom's decision to impose restrictions on imports of goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory and limitations on services associated with these settlements.
They hope that this decision will inspire other nations to follow suit, adhering to international law and confronting illegal settlement organizations and individuals. Additionally, the ministers welcomed the joint statement issued by the Foreign Ministers of Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, reaffirming their commitment to implement national or collaborate with European measures to ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements or consider such actions in line with their respective national procedures.
The ministers encouraged the global community to leverage these actions and implement concrete steps to halt activities supporting or sustaining illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory. They deemed these intentions consistent with international law, notably United Nations Security Council resolution 2334 (2016) and the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion of 19 July 2024, emphasizing states' obligation to not recognize the legal status resulting from Israel's unlawful occupation and refrain from aiding or assisting in maintaining the situation caused by Israel's occupation.
Consequently, the ministers reiterated their demand for Israel to withdraw all measures related to settlement activities and other actions aimed at modifying the geographic and demographic composition of the occupied Palestinian territory. Furthermore, the ministers emphasized that Gaza is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territory and advocated for the full and immediate execution of President Trump's Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict to ensure security, stability, address the humanitarian crisis, facilitate reconstruction and recovery, and create a foundation for lasting peace.
Lastly, the ministers condemned Israel's E1 settlement plan and the Gaza displacement remarks by eight Arab and Muslim nations.
