Eight Islamic States Affirm Gaza as Integral Part of Palestinian Lands

Eight Arab and Islamic countries, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt, have declared that the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the Palestinian territories. According to Al Jazeera, these countries condemned the stances of the Israeli authorities regarding the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

The aforementioned countries emphasized the need to maintain the integrity of the Palestinian territories in both Gaza and the West Bank. They stated that the statements of the Israeli authorities on the displacement of Palestinians constitute a clear violation of the principles of international law, including international humanitarian law, and a direct threat to the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.

These eight Arab and Islamic countries warned of the dangerous consequences of turning Tel Aviv's calls for the displacement of Palestinians into an official policy or practical measures to force Palestinians out of their land. They called on the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council, to decisively confront any measures by Tel Aviv aimed at imposing a new demographic or geographical status on the occupied Palestinian territories.

The declaration reflects growing regional concern over recent Israeli statements suggesting the relocation of Gaza's population. The countries reaffirmed their commitment to the two-state solution and the establishment of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

According to the report by Al Jazeera, the joint stance underscores the collective rejection of any attempts to alter the demographic composition of the Palestinian territories. The countries also urged the international community to take concrete steps to prevent any forced displacement and to uphold the rights of Palestinians under international law.
