Amman, June 18 (Petra)– The foreign ministers of the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan,
Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt strongly condemned the
continued escalation of settler violence against Palestinians in the
occupied West Bank, including recent attacks targeting the Grand
Mosque in the village of Jiljilya and Al-Farooq Mosque in the village
of Mazari’ al-Nubani, north of Ramallah.

In a joint statement, the ministers stressed that these attacks
constitute a clear violation of the sanctity of places of worship and
religious sites, as well as a breach of international law, including
international humanitarian law and relevant United Nations
resolutions.

The ministers reiterated their absolute rejection of the attacks
carried out by Israeli settlers, as well as Israel’s continued
unilateral and illegal measures in the occupied Palestinian
territories, warning that such actions fuel instability, violence,
and extremism while undermining international efforts to achieve
peace.

They held Israel, as the occupying power, responsible for these
attacks.

The ministers also renewed their call on the international community
to fulfill its legal and moral responsibilities by compelling Israel
to halt its dangerous escalation in the occupied West Bank, end its
illegal practices, stop settler violence, hold perpetrators
accountable, and ensure that they do not enjoy impunity.

Reaffirming their unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people,
the ministers expressed steadfast support for the fulfillment of the
Palestinians’ legitimate and inalienable national rights, foremost
among them the right to self-determination and the establishment of
an independent, sovereign Palestinian state on the 1967 lines with
East Jerusalem as its capital.

They further reiterated their support for all efforts aimed at ending
the Israeli occupation and achieving a just, lasting, and
comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution, in accordance
with international law, relevant United Nations resolutions, and the
Arab Peace Initiative.
