In early August 2026, foreign ministers from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt issued a joint declaration condemning Israel's military campaign in Gaza. The coalition stated that attacks on civilian infrastructure and health facilities breached international law and threatened the implementation of U.S. President Donald Trump's Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which had been accepted by Palestinian factions.

On 6 August 2026, the ministers released a second statement endorsing the peace plan. They urged a reduction in violence, phased Israeli troop withdrawal, progressive disarmament of Hamas, the establishment of a transitional Palestinian civil administration, and the deployment of an international stabilization force. Israel’s prime-ministerial office rejected the statements, accusing the coalition of distorting reality and blaming Hamas for continued violations, including re-arming.

By 16 August 2026, the eight nations issued a further joint statement condemning Israel's rejection of a roadmap designed to implement the Trump-backed plan. The ministers noted that the roadmap was supported by UN Security Council Resolution 2803. They expressed concern that Israel's refusal to follow the roadmap and its rejection of Palestinian statehood undermines peace efforts, asserting that Israel bears responsibility for obstructing progress. The ministers called for continued U.S. engagement to ensure Israeli compliance with the plan's arrangements, which include transferring administrative authority to the National Committee for Gaza management.
