Arab Countries Standing with GAZA.
The UAE and eight other Arab countries have strongly condemned the targeting of civilians.
As well as the “flagrant violations of international law in Gaza”.
Which has been under heavy Israeli bombardment since October 7.
The foreign ministers of the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt and Morocco Issued a Statement on 26 – Oct.
The 9 Arab countries called on the UN Security Council to push for an immediate and sustainable ceasefire in Gaza Strip.
Also they underscored that Israel’s right to self-defense after October 7 attack by Hamas, did not justify neglecting Palestinians’ human rights.
As well as their right to self-determination and “ending the occupation that has continued for decades”.
Which attended by more than a dozen countries that discussed ways to “deescalate” the Israel-Hamas war.
Amid growing fears it will spill into “a wider Middle East conflict”.
Are the Arab Countries with the Two-state solution ?
The Arab ministers unequivocally observed that there is absence of a political solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Which has led to repeated acts of violence and suffering for both Palestinians and Israelis.
As well as the peoples of the Middle East region.
The 9 countries’ ministers emphasized the need for a two-state solution.
Ensuring the establishment of “an independent, sovereign, contiguous (connecting).
And a viable Palestinian state on the pre-June 4, 1967 lines, with Al Quds Eastern Area as its capital”.
Observe the Geneva Convention
The Arab ministers condemned the forced displacement and collective punishment of people in Gaza.
As they also underscored the urgency of observing the protocols of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
Including the laws of armed conflict and International Humanitarian Law.
This applies to the responsibilities of the occupying power.
In addition to the immediate release of hostages and civilian detainees in a safe, dignified and humane way.
Which should be consistent with international law and under the auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) or Red Crescent.
