Foreign ministers from the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar

expressed deep concern over Israeli statements about opening the Rafah Crossing in only one direction, which they said

could allow the transfer of Gaza Strip residents into Egypt.

According to a joint statement on Friday, they reject any attempt to expel Palestinians from their land and stressed the

need to fully adhere to the plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. That includes keeping Rafah open in both

directions, ensuring freedom of movement and avoiding any steps that would compel Gaza residents to leave.

The ministers said the focus should be on creating conditions that allow Palestinians to remain, rebuild and improve

humanitarian conditions within a broader framework aimed at restoring stability.

The ministers voiced appreciation for Trump’s stated commitment to regional peace and underscored the importance of

moving ahead with full implementation of the Trump plan without delay. They said doing so would help improve security,

sustain regional stability and support efforts to maintain the ceasefire, ease civilian suffering and ensure

unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza.

They also called for early recovery and reconstruction work and for creating conditions that would enable the

Palestinian Authority to resume its responsibilities in Gaza, describing this as essential to a new phase of stability.
