Riyadh: The ministers of foreign affairs from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates have expressed their approval of the United Kingdom government's decision to ban the import of goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. They hope this decision will inspire the international community to take similar actions in accordance with international law and hold accountable those involved in illegal settlement activities.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the ministers also supported the Joint Statement on the Two-State Solution issued by foreign ministers from Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. This statement confirms their intention to introduce national and/or support European restrictions on trade with settlements deemed illegal under international law. The ministers encourage the international community to build on these steps and adopt concrete measures to end activities supporting illegal Israeli settlements.

The ministers believe these intentions align with international law and United Nations resolutions, including Security Council resolution 2334 (2016) and the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion of 19 July 2024. They call for Israel to rescind measures related to settlement activities and altering the geographic and demographic character of the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Furthermore, they emphasize that Gaza is part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and call for the full implementation of President Trump's Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict. This plan aims to ensure security and stability, address humanitarian concerns, facilitate reconstruction, and lay the groundwork for lasting peace. The ministers reiterate that a just and comprehensive peace can only be achieved through the two-State solution, establishing an independent Palestinian State based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
