  "account": "RIYADH — Saudi Arabia and a coalition of seven other Arab and Islamic nations have expressed their support for the United Kingdom's decision to ban imports of goods from Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of the eight nations, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, and the UAE, called for the international community to follow suit and adhere to international law. The ministers also welcomed the Joint Statement on the Two-State Solution issued by foreign ministers from a further 12 nations, which confirmed their intention to introduce their own national restrictions and support European restrictions on trade with these illegal settlements. They urged the global community to build upon these steps and take concrete measures to halt activities that sustain the illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The ministers firmly believe these actions align with international law and relevant UN resolutions, such as UN Security Council resolution 2334 (2016) and the International Court of Justice's Advisory Opinion from July 19, 2024. They reiterated their demand for Israel to revoke all settlement-related measures and emphasized Gaza's integral status within the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The ministers called for the complete and immediate implementation of the US President Donald Trump's Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict to ensure security, stability, humanitarian aid, reconstruction, and the groundwork for lasting peace. They firmly stated that the only way to achieve a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace is through the implementation of the two-state solution, establishing an independent, sovereign, contiguous, and viable Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with international law and UN resolutions.",
