Foreign Ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, and Egypt welcomed on Sunday steps taken by Hamas on a peace proposal put forward by the US President to end the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministers “welcomed the steps taken by Hamas regarding US President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the war on Gaza, release all hostages, alive or deceased, and the immediate launch of negotiations on implementation mechanisms.”
They also welcomed “Trump’s call on Israel to immediately stop the bombing and to begin implementation of the exchange agreement, and they expressed appreciation for his commitment to establishing peace in the region.”
The Ministers “affirmed that such developments represent a real opportunity to achieve a comprehensive and sustainable ceasefire, and to address the critical humanitarian conditions facing people in the Gaza Strip.”
In their statement, they welcomed Hamas’s announcement of its readiness to hand over the administration of Gaza to a transitional Palestinian Administrative Committee of independent technocrats.
The Ministers stressed the need for the immediate launch of negotiations to agree on mechanisms to implement the proposal, and address all of its aspects.
They reiterated their joint commitment to supporting the immediate implementation of the proposal and achieving a comprehensive agreement that secures the following: “An immediate end to the war in Gaza; unrestricted delivery of humanitarian aid; no displacement of the Palestinian people; security and safety for all civilians; the release of all hostages; the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza; the unification of Gaza and the West Bank; and a security mechanism that leads to a full Israeli withdrawal and the rebuilding of Gaza, ultimately creating a path for a just peace based on the two-state solution.”
