Eight Arab and Islamic nations—including Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Turkey—issued a joint statement condemning Israeli proposals regarding the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. The ministers specifically addressed remarks made by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Defense Minister Israel Katz.

The group characterized forced removal as a “flagrant violation of the principles of international law, including international humanitarian law,” and warned that such actions would threaten regional stability. They emphasized that the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territory and called for the preservation of territorial unity between Gaza and the West Bank.

Reaffirming their support for a two-state solution based on the June 4, 1967, borders with East Jerusalem as the capital, the nations stated that the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state is a prerequisite for peace. They urged the international community and the UN Security Council to prevent the imposition of new demographic or geographic realities in the occupied territories.

Recent developments have highlighted the specifics of Ben-Gvir’s ‘Disengagement 710’ plan, which reportedly aims to encourage the departure of approximately 1.86 million Palestinians from Gaza over a seven-year period, beginning with 250,000 people in the first year. The issuing nations warned that turning such rhetoric into official state policy would undermine international peace efforts and specifically cited Donald Trump’s Comprehensive Plan, which rejects forced displacement.
