Ammon News - Foreign ministers from eight countries on Thursday strongly condemned Israel's continued violations in the Gaza Strip, citing attacks on health facilities and civilian infrastructure as civilian deaths, including women and children, continue to mount.

The joint statement came from the foreign ministers of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt.

They said the ongoing violations breach Israel's obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law, and represent a clear violation of the comprehensive plan to end the war on Gaza.

The ministers warned that the violations undermine international and regional efforts to implement the plan's second phase, particularly after United States President Donald Trump announced that Palestinian factions had accepted the roadmap, including provisions on collecting weapons. They said the violations risk derailing the political process, reigniting escalation and deepening the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

Protecting civilians, safeguarding medical facilities and health and humanitarian workers, and ensuring immediate, safe and unimpeded delivery of aid and medical supplies across Gaza are legal obligations that cannot be breached under any circumstances, the ministers stressed.

They said Israel's violations in Gaza cannot be separated from settler attacks in the occupied West Bank, illegal settlement expansion and unilateral measures to alter the status quo in occupied Jerusalem.

Together, the ministers said, these actions form a systematic policy to impose facts on the ground by force, undermine the foundations of a two-state solution and marginalize the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, in flagrant violation of international law and relevant United Nations (UN) resolutions.

The ministers renewed their call on the international community, particularly the U.N. Security Council, to uphold its legal and moral responsibilities and to take effective action to compel Israel to meet its obligations under international law and Security Council Resolution 2803.

They also called for holding those responsible for grave violations accountable, saying this would help protect civilians, preserve the chances of completing the agreement's implementation and secure a permanent ceasefire.

The ministers underscored their countries' firm rejection of any attempt to annex Palestinian territory, impose Israeli sovereignty over it, or forcibly displace the Palestinian people.

They said the only path to a just and comprehensive peace lies in launching a serious political process toward a two-state solution, establishing an independent, sovereign Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967, lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
