The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar, Türkiye and the UAE strongly condemned on Thursday Israel’s law that allows the imposition of the death penalty in the occupied West Bank and its de facto application against Palestinians, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The ministers warned against the increasingly discriminatory, escalating Israeli practices that entrench a system of apartheid and a rejectionist discourse that denies the inalienable rights and the very existence of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).

The ministers warned that this legislation represents a dangerous escalation, especially due to its discriminatory targeting of Palestinian prisoners, and emphasized that such measures could intensify tensions and further destabilize the region.

The ministers also expressed deep concern over the conditions of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention, warning of mounting risks amid credible reports of ongoing abuses, including torture, inhumane and degrading treatment, starvation, and denial of basic rights. They emphasized that these practices reflect a broader pattern of violations against the Palestinian people.

The ministers reiterated their firm opposition to Israel’s racially discriminatory, oppressive, and aggressive policies directed against Palestinians.

The ministers further emphasized the urgent need to refrain from measures imposed by the occupying power that risk further inflaming tensions on the ground. They stressed the importance of ensuring accountability and called for strengthened international efforts to uphold stability and prevent further deterioration.
