RIYADH, Sept 30 (KUNA) -- A joint statement by the Foreign Ministers of Saudi Arabia and several Arab and Muslim countries welcomed late Monday US President Donald Trumpآ’s efforts to end the war in Gaza, and find a path to peace in the region.
According to the statement, cited by Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Foreign Ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkiye, Qatar, and Egypt welcomed President Trumpآ’s "leadership and his sincere efforts to end the war in Gaza," and asserted their confidence "in his ability to find a path to peace." They emphasized "the importance of the partnership with the United States in securing peace in the region." Along these lines, the statement welcomed "the announcement by President Trump regarding his proposal to end the war, rebuild Gaza, prevent the displacement of the Palestinian people and advance a comprehensive peace, as well as his announcement that he will not allow the annexation of the West Bank." The ministers, in the statement, affirmed "their readiness to engage positively and constructively with the United States and the parties toward finalizing the agreement and ensuring its implementation, in a manner that ensures peace, security, and stability for the peoples of the region." They reaffirmed their joint commitment to work with the US to end the war in Gaza through a comprehensive deal.
The deal should ensure "unrestricted delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid to Gaza, no displacement of the Palestinians, the release of hostages, a security mechanism that guarantees the security of all sides." It should also ensure full Israeli (occupation) withdrawal from occupied territories, the rebuilding of the Gaza Strip, and the creation of a path for a just peace on the basis of the two-state solution, under which Gaza is fully integrated with the West Bank in a Palestinian state in accordance with international law as key to achieving regional stability and security.
