Arab-Islamic joint statement regarding the statements by the US ambassador to Israel
They affirm their countries’ categorical rejection of similar dangerous and seditious reflections, which constitute a obvious violation of the principles of transnational law and the Charter of the United Nations, and pose a grave trouble to the security and stability of the region.
The Ministries stressed that these statements directly contradict the vision put forward by US President Donald J. Trump, as well as the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which are grounded on containing escalation and creating a political horizon for a comprehensive agreement that ensures the Palestinian people have their own independent state. They underlined that the plan is predicated in promoting forbearance and peaceful concurrence, and that reflections seeking to legitimise control over the lands of others undermine these objects, energy pressures, and constitute incitement rather than advancing peace.
The Ministries reaffirmed that Israel has no sovereignty whatsoever over the enthralled Palestinian home or any other engaged Arab lands. They reiterated their establishment rejection of any attempts to addition the West Bank or separate it from the Gaza Strip, their strong opposition to the expansion of agreement conditioning in the enthralled Palestinian Territory, and their categorical rejection of any trouble to the sovereignty of Arab countries.
They further advised that the durability of Israel’s expansionist programs and unlawful measures will only inflame violence and conflict in the region and undermine the prospects for peace, and called for an end to these inflammatory statements. The Ministries underlined their countries’ loyal commitment to the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to tone- determination and to the establishment of their independent state along the lines of 4 June 1967, and the end of the occupation of all Arab lands.
