Foreign ministers from eight Arab and Islamic nations condemned Israel’s declared rejection of the Gaza roadmap. Consequently, the coalition warned that this refusal directly threatens international efforts to end the conflict in Gaza. Furthermore, the joint statement urged immediate compliance with the peace framework endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2803.
Condemnation of Israeli Rejection and Accountability
The foreign ministers highlighted that Israel’s stance constitutes a direct repudiation of President Donald Trump’s comprehensive plan. Additionally, they noted that obstructing the roadmap fundamentally undermines collective diplomacy aiming for lasting regional peace.
Israel bears full responsibility for any resulting humanitarian deterioration or operational delay across the Gaza Strip. Consequently, regional states maintain diplomatic pressure to prevent the derailment of mediated agreements.
Roadmap Framework and Call for US Engagement
The roadmap outlines decommissioning weapons alongside Israeli troop withdrawals and deploying international stability forces. Additionally, the plan transfers administrative authority to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza while initiating reconstruction.
The ministers called on the United States to maintain active diplomatic engagement to enforce full Israeli compliance. Furthermore, the statement reaffirmed commitment to the two-state solution based on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as capital.
Finally, international mediators demand concrete steps from the Peace Council to advance to the plan’s second phase. Ultimately, sustained multilateral coordination remains vital to safeguarding peace and stability across the region.
