The foreign ministers of Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt on Sunday welcomed the steps taken by Hamas toward the ceasefire plan proposed by US President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza.

Issuing a joint statement, the foreign ministers of the eight countries welcomed “the steps taken by Hamas regarding Trump’s proposal to end the war in Gaza, release all hostages, alive or deceased, and the immediate launch of negotiations on implementation mechanisms.”

Welcoming Trump’s call on Israel to immediately stop the bombing and to begin implementation of the exchange agreement, the foreign ministers expressed appreciation for his commitment to establishing peace in the region. The ministers also affirmed that these developments represent “a real opportunity to achieve a comprehensive and sustainable ceasefire and to address the critical humanitarian conditions facing people in the Gaza Strip.”

Welcoming Hamas’s announcement “of its readiness to hand over the administration of Gaza to a transitional Palestinian Administrative Committee of independent technocrats,” the foreign ministers stressed the need for the immediate launch of negotiations to agree on mechanisms to implement the proposal and address all of its aspects.

According to the statement, the foreign ministers reiterated their joint commitment to support efforts towards the implementation of the proposal, to work for the immediate end of the war on Gaza, and achieve a comprehensive agreement that ensures unrestricted delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, no displacement of the Palestinian people, and that no measures are taken that threaten the security and safety of civilians, the release of hostages, the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza, unifying Gaza and the West Bank, and reaching a security mechanism that guarantees the security of all sides, in a manner that leads to the full Israeli withdrawal, and to the rebuilding of Gaza, and that creates a path for a just peace on the basis of the two-state solution.
