Doha: The Foreign Ministers of the State of Qatar, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Republic of Turkiye, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Arab Republic of Egypt today welcomed the steps taken by Hamas regarding US President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the war on Gaza.
According to Qatar News Agency, the ministers expressed their support for the release of all hostages, both alive and deceased, and the immediate launch of negotiations on implementation mechanisms. They also welcomed President Trump’s call on Israel to stop the bombing and begin implementing the exchange agreement, appreciating his commitment to establishing peace in the region. The joint statement highlighted these developments as a significant opportunity to achieve a comprehensive and sustainable ceasefire and address the critical humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip.
The Foreign Ministers also welcomed Hamas’ announcement of its readiness to hand over the administration of Gaza to a transitional Palestinian Administrative Committee of independent technocrats. They emphasized the urgency of launching negotiations to agree on mechanisms for implementing the proposal and addressing all its aspects.
The ministers reiterated their joint commitment to supporting efforts toward implementing the proposal, working for an immediate end to the war on Gaza, and achieving a comprehensive agreement. This agreement aims to ensure the unrestricted delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, prevent the displacement of Palestinians, and avoid measures that threaten civilian safety. The proposal also includes the release of hostages, the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza, the unification of Gaza and the West Bank, and establishing a security mechanism that guarantees the security of all parties. This would lead to a full Israeli withdrawal, the rebuilding of Gaza, and create a path for a just peace based on the two-state solution.
