Latest updates
Arab and Muslim foreign ministers, meeting in Jordan, have decided to establish a permanent mechanism to document and expose Israeli violations in Jerusalem and at its Islamic and Christian holy sites. This initiative includes a dedicated media platform aimed at chronicling violations against holy sites and worshippers, presenting this evidence to international organizations and the wider world. The goal is to transform documented evidence into sustained international awareness and pressure, ensuring that these violations remain at the forefront of international attention and generate meaningful diplomatic and political action. The mechanism is intended to operate beyond official diplomacy, with its findings disseminated credibly and accessibly to audiences in major world capitals to influence public opinion and government policy.
The joint statement by eight Muslim countries, including Pakistan, further elaborated on their condemnation of Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip. They stated that Israeli operations are harming efforts for a permanent ceasefire and the second phase of the Gaza peace plan. The statement explicitly rejected any attempts to impose Israeli sovereignty over occupied Palestinian territories and the forced displacement of Palestinians. It asserted that the only just solution to the conflict is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the 1967 borders.
