Arab countries condemn, reject acts of violence, terrorism against civilians

The foreign ministers of the Arab world have denounced and rejected all acts of terrorism and violence directed towards civilians, as well as any violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law by any source. This is concerning the Israel-Hamas conflict.

A joint statement was on Thursday issued by the foreign ministers of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the Kingdom of Morocco.
The statement issued following the “Cairo Peace Summit” held in Cairo on October 21, condemned individual or collective forced displacement, as well as the policy of collective punishment.
It emphasized that the absence of a political solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has led to repeated acts of violence and suffering for the Palestinian and Israeli people and the people of the region in general, stressing the importance of the international community, especially the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities in order to achieve peace in the Middle East.
