Pakistan and seven Muslim nations condemn Israel's rejection of Gaza peace roadmap

Monday, 17 August 2026, 06:39 · 1 min read

The foreign ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Türkiye, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have jointly condemned Israel's rejection of a roadmap designed to implement US President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza conflict. In a joint statement, the ministers said Israel's refusal — which also includes a rejection of Palestinian statehood — amounts to a "direct repudiation" of the comprehensive plan endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2803, and places responsibility for obstructing peace squarely on Israel. The statement calls for sustained US engagement to enforce Israeli compliance and reaffirms that a lasting settlement can only be achieved through a two-state solution, with an independent Palestinian state along 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital — a position that has grown more urgent after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week explicitly rejected any military withdrawal from Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed.
