Eight Muslim countries have called upon Israel to abide by its obligations in terms of the initial phase of the Gaza peace agreement through a collective diplomatic appeal. This coalition of countries called for a complete end to ceasefire violations and the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance to the conflict-ravaged region. Eight Muslim States Gaza Peace
Meeting at the 81st United Nations General Assembly session in New York, foreign ministers from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Pakistan, and Indonesia came together in forming a common diplomatic stance in support of the precarious peace process. The diplomatic effort emphasizes that it is of utmost importance for humanitarian assistance and early recovery efforts to be carried out.
In a unified statement, the ministers asserted that the upcoming second phase of the peace agreement must be executed as an indivisible package. This comprehensive blueprint mandates a total Israeli military withdrawal alongside the concurrent placement of arms under agreed international supervision. The framework further details the deployment of an international stabilization force and the transition of administrative governance to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, clearing the path for broad reconstruction efforts.
Underscoring regional stability, the diplomats firmly rejected any forcible displacement of Palestinians, land confiscations, or settlement expansions, warning that such measures threaten the demographic integrity of occupied lands. They further expressed serious concern over unilateral actions attempting to alter the historic status quo of sacred Muslim and Christian sites in Jerusalem.
Commending recent international measures, including British trade restrictions on settlement products, the eight-nation bloc advocated for wider global diplomatic pressure. They emphasized that Gaza must remain structurally linked to the West Bank, envisioning unified administration as an essential step toward a sovereign Palestinian state based on a two-state framework with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The alliance acknowledged the ongoing mediation efforts of the United States administration, calling for sustained engagement from Washington and the international Board of Peace. The ministers reaffirmed their readiness to collaborate with global partners and the Palestinian Authority to overcome operational hurdles, alleviate humanitarian suffering, and secure long-term Middle Eastern stability.
