Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi strongly condemned the Israeli occupation authorities' announcement regarding the establishment of an agency aimed at forcibly displacing Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, as well as the approval to separate 13 illegal settlement neighborhoods in the occupied West Bank in preparation for their eventual legalization as colonial settlements.
Albudaiwi emphasized that this announcement constitutes a flagrant violation of international charters, treaties, and agreements, occurring under the watchful eyes of the international community. He further warned that these actions pose a serious threat to regional security and stability.
The Secretary-General reaffirmed the GCC's unwavering and full solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle against these inhumane and illegal actions by Israeli occupation forces. He stressed the urgent need for a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue—one that ensures security and stability in the region and adheres to international legitimacy. This includes full commitment to a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders, which would guarantee the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi discussed developments in the Middle East and efforts to de-escalate tensions with UN Secretary-General António Guterres.

During a phone call, the two sides reviewed a range of regional and international issues of mutual concern, with particular focus on the latest developments related to Israeli military operations targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as ongoing efforts to promote de-escalation and enhance regional security and stability, SPA reported.

Albudaiwi reaffirmed the commitment of the GCC member states to supporting international and UN-led efforts, as reflected in the statement issued following the 48th Extraordinary Ministerial Meeting of the GCC Ministerial Council on regional developments.

The council underscored the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire to preserve regional security and stability. It also called on all parties to work collaboratively to de-escalate tensions, prioritize diplomacy as a constructive means of resolving conflicts, and exercise maximum restraint to shield the region and its people from the dangers of war.

For his part, Guterres praised the GCC’s positive role in supporting de-escalation efforts and promoting regional security. He emphasized the United Nations’ desire to strengthen cooperation with the GCC across various areas of shared priority.

Also, Albudaiwi discussed developments in the Middle East with the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission Kaja Kallas during a phone call.

During their talks, they discussed the latest developments in the Middle East and international efforts to advance the peace process, in addition to exchanging views on ways to elevate regional and international coordination to foster security and stability in the region.

Both officials stressed the need to move forward in supporting de-escalation efforts in the region to achieve lasting peace in the region and the world.
