The ministerial committee, mandated by the joint Arab-Islamic Summit to lobby for ending the Israeli aggression on Gaza, continued its diplomatic tour to the permanent member states of the UN Security Council (UNSC).
After visiting Beijing, Moscow, and London, the committee arrived in the French capital, Paris, on Wednesday, marking its fourth stop before heading to Washington.
The committee was formed under a resolution by the joint extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League in Riyadh on November 11.
It is made up of the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye, Indonesia, Nigeria and Palestine, as well as the Arab League Secretary General, Ahmad Abul-Gheit.
Chaired by Prince Faisal bin Farhan, the Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs, the committee convened on Wednesday, meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris and with David Cameron, the British Foreign Secretary, in London.
Both meetings expressed appreciation for the joint Egyptian, Qatari, and US mediation efforts that resulted in an agreement for a four-day humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, subject to extension.
Emphasis was placed on the need to build upon the humanitarian ceasefire, working towards a comprehensive and sustainable cessation of hostilities at the earliest opportunity.
Committee members emphasized the crucial need for effective and immediate action by the UNSC and the international community to achieve a complete cessation of hostilities.
They underscored that this is a priority for all Arab and Islamic nations, urging Britain to play a balanced role in accordance with international laws to reach this goal and implement all relevant resolutions.
The meetings delved into the necessity of revitalizing the peace process, with members emphasizing the importance of ensuring a just, permanent, and comprehensive peace.
This involves implementing international resolutions related to the two-state solution and enabling the Palestinian people to realize their legitimate rights in establishing an independent and sovereign Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Furthermore, discussions centered around securing safe passages for the delivery of humanitarian aid, food, water, fuel, and electricity to Gaza.
The meetings also addressed the importance of allowing international organizations to carry out their missions in the sector and its vicinity.
