The three leaders expressed "their grave concern about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the West Bank and East Al-Quds," calling for "an end to all unilateral measures that undermine the possibility of achieving a two-state solution and increase tensions."
They also emphasized "the need to respect the historical status quo of the holy sites in Al-Quds," expressing their "rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from their land and any attempt to annex Palestinian territories."
The leaders called for "international support for the Gaza Reconstruction Plan, adopted by the Arab Summit held in Cairo on March 4 and adopted by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on March 7." They discussed mechanisms for its effective implementation of security and governance."
They emphasized that "governance and the maintenance of order and security in Gaza, as well as in all Palestinian territories, must be exclusively under the umbrella of an empowered Palestinian National Authority, with strong regional and international support."
