As reported by Al-Mamlaka TV, the United
States had used its
veto against a draft resolution in the UN Security Council,
which called for an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons in the ongoing
war in the Gaza Strip. This move has placed Washington in diplomatic isolation
while protecting its ally, Israel.
The members of the ministerial committee held
official talks in Washington with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The
committee, chaired by Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah,
included the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin
Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Expatriates
Ayman al-Safadi, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh
Shoukry, Palestinian Minister of Foreign Affairs Riyad al-Maliki, and Turkish
Foreign Minister Hakan Çavuşoğlu.
During the talks, the committee members urged
the United States to assume its responsibilities and take necessary measures to
compel the Israeli occupation to an immediate ceasefire.
The ministerial committee members reiterated
their united stance against the continued Israeli aggression against the
Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. They renewed their call for an immediate
and complete ceasefire, ensuring the protection of civilians in line with
international humanitarian law, and ending the humanitarian tragedy deepening
every hour in the Gaza Strip. They also called for the lifting of all
restrictions hindering the entry of humanitarian aid into the region.
The committee members expressed their
collective rejection of all forced displacement operations pursued by the
Israeli occupation. They emphasized the importance of adherence to
international law and humanitarian law and their commitment to counter such
actions at all levels.
The ministerial committee reaffirmed the need
to create a genuine political climate leading to a two-state solution, embodying
the state of Palestine along the lines of June 4, 1967, in accordance with
relevant international resolutions. They rejected the fragmentation of the
Palestinian issue and discussion of the future of the Gaza Strip separately
from the Palestinian cause.
