Ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt accuse Israel of extremism and demand unilateral steps while sidestepping Hamas terror. Arab foreign ministers made a series of critical statements targeting Israel during a press conference on Sunday, held by the ministerial committee formed following the Arab-Islamic Summit on Gaza. The officials reiterated calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state and addressed developments in the region.
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan condemned Israel for preventing the Arab ministerial delegation from visiting Ramallah, stating: "Preventing the Arab ministerial delegation from visiting Ramallah is a manifestation of the Israeli government's extremism." He added, "These actions will only increase our determination to intensify diplomatic efforts in the international community to confront Israel's arrogance."
He also said, "Military solutions will not bring security to any party. A political solution is imperative. We will not accept any resolution short of establishing a Palestinian state." Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi stated, "The extremist Israeli government continues to violate international law." He emphasized, "There is no lasting peace or stability without fulfilling Palestinian rights," and added, "Israel is undermining all prospects for peace and making Gaza uninhabitable in an attempt to displace its people, which we reject."
