Eight Arab, Islamic foreign ministers praise Trump’s Gaza plan, say ready to work with US to actualize it

The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, and Egypt issue a joint statement welcoming US President Donald Trump’s “sincere efforts” to end the war in Gaza “and assert their confidence in his ability to find a path to peace.”

“They emphasize the importance of the partnership with the United States in securing peace in the region,” the eight countries’ top diplomats say.

The Arab and Muslim foreign ministers take particular note of the plan’s envisioning of an end to the war, the rebuilding of Gaza, the prevention of the displacement of Palestinians and the advancement of a comprehensive peace process.

They also hail his announcement last week that he will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank.

“The ministers affirm their readiness to engage positively and constructively with the United States and the parties toward finalizing the agreement and ensuring its implementation, in a manner that ensures peace, security, and stability for the peoples of the region,” the joint statement says.

“They reaffirm their joint commitment to work with the United States to end the war in Gaza through a comprehensive deal that ensures unrestricted delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid to Gaza, no displacement of the Palestinians, the release of hostages, a security mechanism that guarantees the security of all sides, full Israeli withdrawal, rebuilds Gaza and creates a path for a just peace on the basis of the two state solution, under which Gaza is fully integrated with the West Bank in a Palestinian state in accordance with international law as key to achieving regional stability and security,” the foreign ministers add.
