Six-Party Arab Group calls for ending the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip

The Foreign Ministers of the Six-Party Arab Group stressed the necessity of ending the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, reaching an immediate and complete ceasefire, ensuring the protection of civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law, and lifting all restrictions that impede the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip.

After their meeting held in Riyadh on Saturday , the ministers expressed their support for all the efforts aimed at international recognition of the independent Palestinian state, in a way that achieves the aspirations of the brotherly Palestinian people. They stressed the importance of taking irreversible steps to recognize the State of Palestine on the borders of June 4, 1967, with Jerusalem (Al- Quds)  as its capital, in accordance with the relevant international resolutions.

The ministers affirmed that the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territory, declaring their categorical rejection of any attempts to displace the Palestinian people outside their land, and any Israeli military operation in the city of Rafah.

They warned of the continuation of illegal Israeli practices in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, including settlement expansion, land confiscation, military operations against Palestinians, settler attacks, and besieging the freedom of worship of Muslims and Christians.

The committee includes the foreign ministers of Palestine, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, and Qatar.
