A group of Arab and Islamic nations, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, Turkey, Pakistan, and Indonesia, has issued consecutive joint statements regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip. Initially, foreign ministers denounced Israeli actions in Gaza, specifically citing attacks on civilian infrastructure and health facilities as “clear breaches of international humanitarian law.” They called for unhindered humanitarian aid and urged the UN Security Council to enforce its responsibilities under resolution 2803. Following these condemnations, the ministers issued a new statement targeting Israel’s rejection of a proposed peace roadmap based on a comprehensive plan for Gaza. This roadmap, which has been accepted by Palestinian factions, includes the disarmament of factions, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the deployment of an international stability force. The signatory nations warned that Israel’s refusal to adopt the plan and its rejection of a Palestinian state threatens regional stability and peace efforts. In a recent development, these eight nations issued a joint statement specifically condemning Israel's rejection of a roadmap intended to implement Donald Trump's comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict. The ministers emphasized that Israel bears “full responsibility” for any further deterioration of the situation. The roadmap, supported by UN Security Council Resolution 2803, involves transferring administrative authority to the National Committee for Gaza. The ministers have called for active U.S. engagement to ensure Israel complies with these commitments. Concurrently, Hamas has called on the US-led Board of Peace to compel Israel to adhere to the plan following a meeting in Egypt between a Hamas leader and Jared Kushner. Hamas expressed support for the roadmap for the second phase of the plan but emphasized the need for Israel to fulfill initial commitments, including ending violations and incursions. ~~Meanwhile, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has faced criticism after suggesting the use of targeted assassinations in Gaza.~~
