Arab Gulf countries and Muslim nations, including Pakistan, have strongly condemned recent statements by the Israeli Prime Minister supporting the concept of a 'Greater Israel' and plans to expand settlements in the occupied West Bank. These remarks, along with actions by Israeli ministers, have sparked widespread outrage and have been denounced as violations of international law and threats to regional peace and security. The joint condemnation from dozens of Arab and Muslim nations calls for immediate international intervention to halt further destabilization and protect Palestinian rights, including the establishment of an independent state based on pre-1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital.
European nations have also voiced alarm over the settlement expansion, warning that it would further restrict Palestinian mobility and undermine prospects for peace. The ministers reiterated their rejection of Israel's actions in Gaza, calling for a ceasefire and unconditional humanitarian access, and highlighted the devastating human toll of the ongoing conflict.
