ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and the United Arab Emirates issued a joint statement strongly condemning Israel’s repeated violations of the ceasefire in Gaza. These violations have reportedly resulted in the killing and injuring of more than a thousand Palestinians.
The ministers warned that such actions risk escalating regional tensions and undermining collective efforts to consolidate calm and restore stability. They highlighted this as occurring during a critical period when regional and international parties are advancing the second phase of President Donald Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict (often referred to as his peace plan), alongside the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803 (adopted in November 2025, which endorses the plan, authorizes a transitional Board of Peace, and supports stabilization measures including humanitarian access and reconstruction in Gaza).
The statement describes the violations as a direct threat to the political process and an obstacle to creating suitable conditions for transitioning Gaza to a more stable phase in terms of security and humanitarian needs.
The ministers stressed the necessity of full commitment by all parties to ensure the success of the second phase of Trump’s plan.They called on all parties to uphold their responsibilities, exercise maximum restraint, preserve and sustain the ceasefire, avoid actions that could undermine the process, and foster conditions for early recovery, reconstruction, and progress toward a just and lasting peace.
This peace should be based on the Palestinian right to self-determination and statehood, in line with international law, relevant UN Security Council resolutions, and the Arab Peace Initiative.This joint statement aligns with ongoing diplomatic coordination among these countries in support of the U.S.-led plan and UN-backed efforts to achieve a sustainable ceasefire and regional stability, amid reports of challenges to the truce’s implementation as the second phase progresses.
Full texts of similar recent joint statements from these ministers (e.g., on humanitarian concerns and support for the plan) are available on official foreign ministry websites such as those of Türkiye (mfa.gov.tr), Pakistan (mofa.gov.pk), and others.
