UAE joins Saudis, Turks in condemning Israeli ‘violations’ of Gaza ceasefire
Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
The foreign ministers of eight Muslim countries, some hostile to Israel and some friendly, “strongly condemn Israel’s repeated violations” of the Gaza ceasefire after Hamas-run authorities said a wave of Israeli strikes killed at least 32 Palestinians yesterday
The joint letter — signed by Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey — alleges that the strikes threaten “ongoing efforts to create appropriate conditions for transitioning to a more stable phase in the Gaza Strip” and calls for the full implementation of the second phase of US President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza.
