Overview
- Issued late Monday via Turkey’s foreign ministry, the statement was signed by Brazil, France, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar and others, with the Arab League and OIC chiefs endorsing it.
- The signatories call Israeli settlement expansion a flagrant violation of international law and cite the International Court of Justice’s 2024 advisory opinion.
- Israel’s decisions include restarting land‑title registration, reclassifying parcels as state land and easing settler land purchases, with registration slated across Area C, about 60% of the West Bank.
- The ministers urge reversal of the measures, prosecution of violent settlers and the immediate transfer of withheld tax revenues owed to the Palestinian Authority.
- The coalition pledges concrete steps to counter settlement growth and forcible displacement, and the OIC has announced an emergency foreign ministers’ meeting this week in Jeddah.
