Pakistan, 7 other Muslim nations call upon Israel to fulfil its commitment under Gaza plan

Seven Muslim nations, including Pakistan, Egypt, Turkiye, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, urged Israel to honor its obligations under the Gaza plan on Tuesday. The foreign ministers of these countries met during the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York and emphasized the need for Israel to swiftly deliver humanitarian aid, facilitate infrastructure rehabilitation and facilitate the deployment of the International Stabilisation Force.

They also called for the preservation of the ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the resumption of Palestinian administration of Gaza. The ministers expressed their rejection of any attempts to alter the demographic or territorial character of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and deplored illegal measures aimed at consolidating Israeli control and annexation.

They welcomed the UK's actions against illegal Israeli settlement activity and called for further measures to halt such expansion and address the violence perpetrated by settlers. The group reaffirmed the importance of the Gaza plan in achieving a two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

They also stressed the need for sustained US engagement to ensure the implementation of the plan and end the suffering of the Palestinian people.
