The immediate commencement of the implementation of the Arab-Islamic reconstruction plan of the Gaza Strip, and the call for active participation in the upcoming reconstruction conference to be held in Cairo. Rejection and condemnation of all attempts to displace the Palestinian people from their land in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the affirmation of the need to preserve the legal and historical status quo in the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, while recognizing the key role of the Hashemite Custodianship in this regard.

The statement said, 'We hold the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the ongoing genocide and the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe taking place in the Gaza Strip, and calls upon the international community, particularly the permanent members of the Security Council, to assume their legal and humanitarian responsibilities and to take urgent action to stop Israel's illegal aggressive policies aimed at undermining prospects for a just and lasting peace, eliminating any horizon for the implementation of the two-State solution, and ensuring immediate accountability for all violations committed by Israel against international law and international humanitarian law, including those amounting to genocide.' 'We also underscore the need to implement the outcomes of the High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, held in New York co-chaired by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the French Republic, including the urgent operational time-bound measures contained in its final outcome document to end the war in Gaza and the implementation of a political path to achieve the comprehensive peaceful settlement of the Palestinian question and the implementation of the two-State solution,' it said.

Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee Condemns Israel's Plan for Full Military Control Over Gaza
Mohamed Mandour A ministerial committee representing more than two dozen Arab and Islamic nations issued a joint statement Saturday strongly condemning Israel's announcement that it intends to impose full military control over the Gaza Strip, calling the move a 'dangerous and unacceptable escalation' and a 'flagrant violation of international law.' The committee — mandated by the Joint Extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit and comprising Bahrain, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Nigeria, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, the League of Arab States, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and additional states from Asia and Africa — warned that Israel's declared plan seeks to entrench its 'illegal occupation' and impose a fait accompli by force. The statement accused Israel of committing 'grave violations' in Gaza, including killing and starvation, forced displacement, land annexation, and 'settler terrorism,' which it said may amount to crimes against humanity. Such actions, the group said, destroy any chance for peace, undermine de-escalation efforts, and deepen what it described as a nearly two-year blockade and military aggression affecting all aspects of life in Gaza, alongside serious violations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The committee called for an immediate end to Israel's military campaign, the unhindered delivery of large-scale humanitarian aid — including food, medicine, and fuel — and the protection of relief agencies' operations. It voiced support for mediation efforts by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States aimed at securing a ceasefire and a prisoner-hostage exchange, and urged rapid implementation of an Arab-Islamic reconstruction plan for Gaza, with an international conference set to convene in Cairo. The statement also rejected any attempt to displace Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and reaffirmed the need to preserve the legal and historical status quo at Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem under Hashemite Custodianship. The committee stressed that a just and lasting peace can only be achieved through the two-state solution, with an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital. It held Israel 'fully responsible' for what it called 'ongoing genocide' and urged the international community, particularly the U.N. Security Council's permanent members, to act urgently to halt Israel's 'illegal aggressive policies' and ensure accountability for violations of international law. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Joint Statement by Bahrain and 23 Arab-Islamic States Condemns Israeli Military Actions in Gaza
A ministerial committee appointed by the Joint Extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit, including representatives from the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Republic of Indonesia, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the State of Palestine, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Turkey, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, as well as the People's Republic of Bangladesh, the Republic of Chad, the Republic of Djibouti, the Republic of Gambia, the State of Kuwait, the State of Libya, Malaysia, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, the Sultanate of Oman, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Federal Republic of Somalia, the Republic of Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, and the Republic of Yemen, have expressed their strong condemnation and outright rejection of Israel's declaration of its intent to impose full military control over the Gaza Strip. The committee considers this announcement a serious and unacceptable escalation, a violation of international law, and an attempt to entrench an illegal occupation and impose a fait accompli by force, contradicting relevant international legitimacy resolutions. They affirm that Israel's declared approach continues its grave violations, including killing, starvation, forced displacement, annexation of Palestinian land, and settler terrorism—actions that may amount to crimes against humanity. This approach also destroys any opportunity for peace, undermines regional and international efforts aimed at de-escalation and ending the conflict, and exacerbates severe violations against the Palestinian people. For 22 consecutive months, the Palestinian people have faced aggression and a comprehensive siege impacting all aspects of life in Gaza, alongside serious violations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
