Qatar, 9 countries slam move to impose ‘Israeli sovereignty'over occupied West Bank
QNA Doha The State of Qatar, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Republic of Indonesia, the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the State of Palestine, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Turkiye, the United Arab Emirates, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation condemned, in the strongest terms, the Israeli Knesset's approval of the declaration calling for imposing the so-called 'Israeli sovereignty' over the occupied West Bank. They described the move a flagrant and unacceptable violation of international law and a flagrant violation of relevant Security Council resolutions, most notably resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 2334 (2016), which affirm the invalidity of all measures and decisions aimed at legitimizing the occupation, including settlement activities in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967. The mentioned parties reiterated that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory and affirmed that this unilateral Israeli action has no legal effect and cannot change the legal status of the occupied Palestinian territory, particularly East Jerusalem, which remains an integral part of that territory. They also emphasized that such Israeli measures will only fuel the growing tension in the region, exacerbated by the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the resulting humanitarian catastrophe. These parties called on the international community, including the Security Council and all concerned parties, to assume their legal and moral responsibilities and take urgent action to halt illegal Israeli policies aimed at imposing a 'fait accompli' by force, undermining the chances of achieving a just and lasting peace, and eliminating the prospects for a two-state solution. The parties also renewed their commitment to the two-state solution based on international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, and the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967, lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

GCC urges international community to act urgently on Gaza
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has voiced its condemnation and strong denunciation of the continued unjust, inhumane, and illegal siege imposed by Israeli occupation forces on the Gaza Strip and their prevention of the entry of all forms of humanitarian aid. In a statement today, the GCC Secretary General Jasem bin Mohammed Al Budaiwi emphasized that the siege has resulted in a worsening humanitarian catastrophe, manifested in the spread of famine and the depletion of food and medical supplies, in a flagrant violation of the provisions of international humanitarian law, the Geneva Conventions, human rights principles, and in clear defiance of the international community. Al Budaiwi affirmed that the GCC holds the Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for the ongoing humanitarian tragedy in the Gaza Strip, including the policy of forced collective starvation pursued by the occupation forces against our brethren in Gaza. "This constitutes a full-fledged war crime that requires urgent accountability from the international community, he stressed. Moreover, he called on the international community, including all its states, institutions, and organisations, to take immediate and serious action to stop this brutal siege, halt the machine of killing and starvation, ensure the entry of urgent humanitarian aid, open the crossings without delay, and save the lives of innocent people from a certain catastrophe. Additionally, the GCC Secretary General reiterated the firm stance of the GCC states in supporting the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them their right to a dignified life, freedom, and self-determination, and to achieve a just and lasting peace in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.

Joint statement on Israeli move to annex occupied West Bank
The aforementioned countries reaffirm that Israel holds no sovereignty over the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and stress that this unilateral Israeli action is legally null and void, incapable of altering the legal status of the territory—particularly East Jerusalem, which remains an integral part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. They further emphasise that such actions only serve to escalate tensions in the region, already aggravated by Israel's ongoing aggression in the Gaza Strip and the resulting humanitarian catastrophe. The countries call upon the international community, including the UN Security Council and all relevant actors, to fulfill their legal and moral obligations by taking immediate steps to halt Israel's illegal policies aimed at forcibly imposing a new reality on the ground, thereby undermining prospects for a just and lasting peace and the realization of the two-state solution. In conclusion, the countries reaffirm their unwavering commitment to the two-state solution based on internationally recognized resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, emphasizing the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Knesset West Bank annexation vote draws Arab-Islamic condemnation
Shafaq News – West Bank Ten Arab and Muslim countries, along with the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, condemned the Israeli Knesset's approval of a bill to impose Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank. A joint statement—released by the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Nigeria, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation—strongly denounced the Knesset's ratification of what it described as a declaration to enforce so-called "Israeli sovereignty" over the occupied West Bank. The signatories called the move a blatant and unacceptable violation of international law and a clear breach of relevant UN Security Council resolutions, including Resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 2334 (2016). The countries reiterated that Israel holds no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territories, emphasizing that the unilateral Israeli measure carries no legal effect and does not alter the legal status of the occupied Palestinian land, including East Jerusalem, which they stressed remains an integral part of those territories. The statement also reaffirmed commitment to a two-state solution based on international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative, with the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Earlier on 21 July, the UK and 30 European countries issued a joint statement, strongly opposing any steps towards territorial or demographic change in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The E1 settlement plan announced by Israel's Civil Administration, if implemented, would divide a Palestinian state in two, 'marking a flagrant breach of international law and critically undermining the two-state solution,' the statement added, noting that settlement building across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, has accelerated while settler violence against Palestinians has soared. 'This must stop.'
