Sept 22 — Foreign ministers of Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia,
Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia met during the 81st UN General Assembly
general debate and expressed deep concern about the humanitarian disaster in
Gaza. They urged Israel to immediately implement obligations in the first phase
of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, including ensuring safe, unimpeded delivery of
humanitarian aid and supplies; to stop all violations and any forced
displacement of Palestinians; and to halt settlement expansion and hold settlers
accountable for violence. The ministers called for advancing a two-state
solution based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as capital and urged
sustained U.S. engagement to ensure all parties, including Israel, meet their
obligations and commitments.
