Emergency Arab Summit in Cairo: Unified Arab rejection of Palestinian displacement
This position was highlighted during Oman's participation in the emergency Arab summit in Cairo, which aims to unify the Arab stance on the latest developments regarding the Palestinian cause, particularly the absolute rejection of Israel's plan for the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
Abdullah bin Nasser al Rahbi, Oman's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the Arab League, emphasized that the Palestinian issue is a just cause tied to the principles of international law. He stressed that achieving a just and comprehensive peace requires international commitment to safeguarding Palestinian rights and preventing the imposition of new realities through settlement expansion, blockades, or forced displacement.
His Excellency further noted that the summit represents a significant opportunity to unify diplomatic efforts and take decisive measures that reflect a solid Arab commitment to supporting the resilience of the Palestinian people and addressing the challenges imposed upon them.
Meanwhile, Ambassador Dr Saeed Abu Ali, Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League for Palestine Affairs, stated that the emergency summit is being held amidst unprecedented threats to the Palestinian cause. He emphasized the categorical Arab rejection of any attempt to link Gaza's reconstruction to the displacement of its residents, stressing the necessity of coordinated Arab efforts to protect Palestinian rights and ensure continued political and economic support.
He also noted that Arab leaders bear a historic responsibility to confront Israeli schemes, affirming that Gaza remains an inseparable part of Palestine and that displacement plans will fail in the face of unified Arab support and unwavering backing for Palestinian resilience.

Israel pounds Gaza killing 123 in last 24 hours
Israel's military pounded Gaza City on Wednesday prior to a planned takeover, with another 123 people killed in the last day according to the Gaza health ministry, while Hamas held further talks with Egyptian mediators. The 24-hour death toll was the worst in a week and added to the massive fatalities from the nearly two-year war that has shattered the enclave housing more than 2 million Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated an idea - also floated by US President Donald Trump - that Palestinians should simply leave. 'They're not being pushed out, they'll be allowed to exit,' he told Israeli television channel i24NEWS. 'All those who are concerned for the Palestinians and say they want to help the Palestinians should open their gates and stop lecturing us.' Arabs and many world leaders are aghast at the idea of displacing the Gaza population, which Palestinians say would be like another 'Nakba' (catastrophe) when hundreds of thousands fled or were forced out during the 1948 war. Israel's planned re-seizure of Gaza City — which it took in the early days of the war before withdrawing — is probably weeks away, officials say. That means a ceasefire is still possible though talks have been floundering and conflict still rages. Israeli planes and tanks bombed eastern areas of Gaza City heavily, residents said, with many homes destroyed in the Zeitoun and Shejaia neighbourhoods overnight. Al Ahli hospital said 12 people were killed in an air strike on a home in Zeitoun. Tanks also destroyed several houses in the east of Khan Yunis in south Gaza, while in the centre, Israeli gunfire killed nine aid-seekers in two separate incidents, Palestinian medics said. Israel's military did not comment. Eight more people, including three children, have died of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza in the past 24 hours. Hamas chief negotiator Khalil al Hayya's meetings with Egyptian officials in Cairo on Wednesday were to focus on stopping the war, delivering aid and 'ending the suffering of our people in Gaza,' Hamas official Taher al Nono said in a statement. Egyptian security sources said the talks would also discuss the possibility of a comprehensive ceasefire that would see Hamas relinquish governance in Gaza and concede its weapons. SEE ALSO P6

Oman condemns Israeli PM's ‘Greater Israel' remarks, reaffirms support to Palestine
By OUR CORRESPONDENT Muscat -The Foreign Ministry of Oman has strongly condemned recent statements by the Israeli Prime Minister regarding the so-called 'Greater Israel', expressing its categorical rejection of any illegal expansionist plans that violate international law and undermine the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. In a statement issued on Thursday, the Ministry described such proposals as a direct threat to regional security and stability, warning that they exacerbate hostility and tension at a time when the region urgently needs calm, cooperation, and respect for the principles of sovereignty and good neighbourliness. Oman reaffirmed its unwavering stance in supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of regional states, firmly rejecting any attempts to alter political geography or weaken national entities. The statement reiterated the Sultanate's steadfast support for the Palestinian people's right to establish an independent state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative. The Ministry also urged the international community to take a firm stand against such aggressive policies and work towards safeguarding Palestinian rights, ensuring the achievement of a just and comprehensive peace in the region.
