Eight nations condemn Israel for rejecting Trump’s Gaza plan

Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan have issued a joint statement criticising Israel’s rejection of US President Donald Trump’s proposal for Gaza. The eight countries accused Israel of bearing responsibility for the failure of peace efforts and warned that its stance threatens American attempts to end the conflict.

The joint declaration, released on Sunday, represents a significant diplomatic pushback against Israel’s position on the proposed Gaza plan. The signatories argued that Israel’s rejection undermines international efforts to broker a ceasefire and achieve peace in the region.

The statement reflects broader Middle Eastern and international concern about the continuation of fighting in Gaza and the apparent breakdown of negotiations. These eight nations, which include key regional powers and influential developing economies, carry considerable weight in both the Arab world and global diplomacy.

Israel has not yet formally responded to the joint statement. The Trump administration’s Gaza proposal had been presented as a potential breakthrough in efforts to halt the conflict that has devastated the territory and displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
