The foreign ministers of a number of Arab and Islamic countries strongly condemned on Sunday Israel's repeated violations of the Gaza ceasefire that have killed and injured over a thousand Palestinians.
The FMs of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt and Türkiye said these violations are a "dangerous escalation that will stoke tensions and undermine efforts to consolidate the ceasefire and achieve stability."
They noted that Israel was committing its violations even as regional and international parties are forging ahead in implementing the second phase of US President Donald Trump's peace plan.
The violations are a "direct threat to the political process" and efforts to reach suitable conditions that should pave the way for a more stable phase in Gaza on both the security and humanitarian levels.
The FMs demanded full commitment to the ceasefire to ensure the success of the second phase of the peace plan.
They called on all parties to assume their full responsibilities during this critical phase and to exercise utmost restraint to maintain the ceasefire and avoid any measures and practices that undermine peace efforts.
They stressed the importance of reaching just, comprehensive and lasting peace, underscoring the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and establishment of their own independent state in line with international resolutions and the 2002 Arab peace initiative.
