Saudi Arabia and several Muslim countries welcome Trump's plan for Gaza

(Patria) - Foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt in a joint statement on Monday welcomed the efforts of US President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza, Al Arabiya reported.

According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the foreign ministers welcome "Trump's leadership and his sincere efforts to end the war in Gaza and affirm their confidence in his ability to find a path to peace".

The ministers "welcome President Trump's announcement regarding his proposal to end the war, rebuild Gaza, prevent the displacement of the Palestinian people, and promote comprehensive peace, as well as his announcement that he will not allow the annexation of the West Bank," SPA announced.

Trump's plan calls for a ceasefire, the release of hostages by Hamas within 72 hours, the disarmament of Hamas, and the gradual withdrawal of Israel from Gaza. Other key points include the deployment of "temporary international stabilization forces" and the creation of a transitional authority led by Trump, which would also include former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

In their joint statement, leading Arab and Muslim diplomats also emphasized "the importance of partnership with the United States in ensuring peace in the region".

"The ministers affirm their readiness to engage positively and constructively with the United States and the parties with the aim of finalizing the agreement and ensuring its implementation, in a way that ensures peace, security, and stability for the peoples of the region," SPA announced.

"They affirm their joint commitment to working with the United States to end the war in Gaza through a comprehensive agreement that ensures the unlimited delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid to Gaza, without the displacement of Palestinians, the release of hostages, a security mechanism that guarantees the security of all parties, the complete withdrawal of Israel, the rebuilding of Gaza, and the creation of a path to a just peace based on a two-state solution, according to which Gaza is fully integrated with the West Bank in a Palestinian state in accordance with international law as the key to achieving regional stability and security," it added.
