Displacement of Palestinians from Gaza Strip rejected
CAIRO: The Sultanate of Oman participated in the extraordinary Arab summit, held in the Egyptian capital Cairo on Tuesday, in the presence of a number of leaders of Arab countries and heads of delegations to discuss the developments of the Palestinian cause and the Israeli escalation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The Sultanate of Oman's delegation to the summit was headed by Sayyid Badr bin Hamad al Busaidy, Foreign Minister, who delivered a speech in which he conveyed the greetings of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik to the participants, expressing his deep thanks and appreciation to the Arab Republic of Egypt, the State of Palestine and the Kingdom of Bahrain for their efforts in organising this crucial Arab summit held at a time when the challenges threatening the Palestinian cause and the aspirations of the Palestinian people to achieve justice and establish their independent state on the Palestinian land, are worsening. In his speech, the foreign minister stressed the Sultanate of Oman's categorical rejection of statements and trends calling for the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip under the pretext of reconstruction, considering it as a crime against humanity under international law and international humanitarian law. He also pointed out that the brutal Israeli war has unveiled a dark scene in the history of humanity, as a result of the fall of tens of thousands of martyrs and wounded in addition to thousands of missing persons and the massive destruction it caused to the infrastructure and facilities in the Gaza Strip. The foreign minister added that Israel continues to violate the ceasefire agreements on a daily basis, hampers arrival of humanitarian aid and insists on killing and displacing civilians in Gaza and the West Bank while continuing to confiscate lands and detain more Palestinians than it releases. He pointed out that a year has passed since the International Court of Justice (ICJ) urged taking every possible step to prevent these crimes without any real commitment from the occupation. The foreign minister stressed that the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem are Palestinian territories and that the Palestinian people have the legitimate right to self-determination. He called on the international community to take urgent action to end the historical injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people so that they can attain their inherent right to freedom and independence. He also stressed the importance of establishing a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and ensuring the safe and full entry of relief and humanitarian materials into the Gaza Strip without any conditions or restrictions. Sayyid Badr stressed the need to hold an international peace conference to ensure the enforcement of international legitimate resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative based on the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital on the borders of June 4, 1967, and with full membership in the United Nations. The foreign minister valued the fraternal meeting that took place between a number of Arab leaders in Riyadh on February 21, 2025, hosted by Prince Mohammed bin Salman al Saud, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which reflected a unified position in support of justice and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. At the end of his speech, Sayyid Badr praised the efforts undertaken by all parties expressing hope that this summit will result in practical steps that would meet the aspirations of the Arab peoples. He also welcomed the Egyptian reconstruction plan in the Gaza Strip. The Sultanate of Oman's delegation to the summit comprised Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali al Harthi, Under-Secretary of the Foreign Ministry for Political Affairs, Ambassador Abdullah bin Nasser al Rahbi, Sultanate of Oman's Ambassador to Egypt and Permanent Representative to the Arab League, and Ambassador Shaikh Faisal bin Omar al Murhoun, Head of the Arab Department, along with several other officials from the Foreign Ministry. — ONA
