The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the Syrian government’s announcement of a ceasefire agreement with the Syrian Democratic Forces, reached under a comprehensive deal that includes the integration of self-administration institutions into Syrian state institutions, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.

In a statement, MWL Secretary-General Sheikh Mohammed Al-Issa expressed appreciation for the mediation efforts led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States, commending both sides for their positive engagement. He said the agreement supports the Syrian people’s aspirations for security and stability.

Al-Issa reaffirmed the League’s full support for the Syrian government’s ongoing efforts to protect its citizens while preserving the country’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.

On Friday, the Syrian government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said they had reached a “comprehensive” agreement to halt fighting across the country and begin a phased integration of military, security, and administrative institutions.

MWL Condemns Israeli Decision on Land Registration Measures in Occupied West Bank

In a statement, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa renewed the call on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities to put an end to these violations and to take a serious stance in enforcing resolutions and appeals of international legitimacy, including those of the UN Security Council and the New York

Declaration on the two-state solution, endorsed by a United Nations General Assembly resolution, regarding the Palestinian people’s established historic right to self-determination and the establishment of their state.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed on Monday the Kingdom’s condemnation of an Israeli decision to register land in the occupied West Bank.

A ministry statement described the move as part of plans aimed at imposing a new legal and administrative reality in the West Bank, undermining ongoing efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.

The statement stressed that “Israel has no sovereignty over occupied Palestinian territories, reiterating its absolute rejection of these illegal measures, which constitute a grave violation of international law, undermine the two-state solution, and represent an assault on the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent and sovereign state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

Palestinians see the West Bank as foundational to any future Palestinian state.
