Cairo, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) — Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar on Sunday issued a joint statement welcoming steps by the Palestinian Hamas movement towards the Gaza ceasefire plan put forward by US President Donald Trump.
According to the document, the foreign ministers of these eight countries welcomed “the steps taken by Hamas regarding Trump’s proposal to end the war in Gaza, release all hostages, living and dead, and immediately begin negotiations on implementation mechanisms.”
They also praised Hamas's statement of "readiness to hand over the governance of the Gaza Strip to a transitional Palestinian administrative committee composed of independent technocrats" and stressed the need to immediately begin negotiations to agree on mechanisms for implementing the American proposal and to consider all its aspects.
The foreign ministers also welcomed Donald Trump's call for Israel to "immediately cease bombing and begin implementing the exchange agreement." They expressed gratitude to the American president for his commitment to establishing peace in the region.
The Foreign Ministers stated that this development of events represents “a real opportunity to achieve a comprehensive and sustainable ceasefire and resolve the critical humanitarian situation facing the residents of the Gaza Strip.”
The diplomats reaffirmed their joint commitment to supporting efforts to implement the American proposal, end the war in Gaza, and achieve a “comprehensive agreement” that ensures unimpeded humanitarian access, prevents forced displacement of Palestinians, and protects civilians.
In addition, they called for the return of the Palestinian National Authority to the Gaza Strip, the unification of Gaza and the West Bank, the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops, the reconstruction of Gaza, and the achievement of a just peace based on a two-state solution.
A day earlier, Egypt announced that it would host delegations from Israel and Hamas on September 6 to discuss the terms and details of an exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners as part of Donald Trump's ceasefire proposal.
According to an updated report from the Gaza Health Authority, since October 7, 2023, Israel's military campaign in the enclave, in addition to infrastructure destruction and starvation, has resulted in the deaths of more than 67,000 Palestinians and the injury of approximately 170,000 others. –0–
