Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohamed Mustafa said, "The priority now is to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible, as this is the real gateway to addressing the catastrophic humanitarian situation. Without this ceasefire, recovery in the Gaza Strip cannot begin, and a comprehensive reconstruction process cannot begin, paving the way for a serious political process leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state that assumes full responsibilities in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem."

This came during his speech at a press conference with the Foreign Ministers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, and the Republic of Turkey, Hakan Fidan, following the Antalya Ministerial Meeting for the Two-State Solution and Permanent Peace in the Middle East, held on Friday. The meeting included members of the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee and a number of international partners.

The Prime Minister expressed his deep appreciation to Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan for hosting this meeting in Turkey and for his continued support for the Palestinian cause. He also thanked Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their leadership, both in chairing the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee and in advancing the global coalition to implement the two-state solution. He also commended their efforts, in cooperation with France, in preparing for the upcoming international conference in New York.

The Prime Minister focused on the ongoing aggression taking place in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, by the occupation forces, settlers, and the Israeli government at all levels: political, economic, settlement, destruction, and inhumane practices against our people.

Mustafa also stressed the need to assist and empower the State of Palestine and its government to lead the process of unifying the land and institutions, and to begin reconstruction with the support of international and Arab partners, just as called for in the resolutions of the Arab Summit and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

In a related context, Mustafa stressed during the meeting of the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Contact Group that "Israel is primarily responsible for this disastrous and inhumane situation, and pressure must be exerted on it to stop this war and allow aid to enter."

The Prime Minister added: "I warn against the continuation of the Israeli economic war, including the withholding of Palestinian tax revenues and its efforts to undermine our work. I also warn against the importance of active participation in the upcoming donors' conference, organized in cooperation with Egypt and the United Nations, and in the Global Coalition for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution. The high-level conference to be held in New York next June, co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France, is now more urgent than ever."

Mustafa strongly rejected Israel's systematic targeting of international organizations, especially UNRWA, "which is a lifeline for Palestinian refugees and must be protected and supported until the right of return is achieved in accordance with Resolution 194."

Mustafa also stressed that what we urgently need now is collective action to end the suffering of our people, preserve the viability of the two-state solution, and help build a more secure and hopeful future for the entire region.

Mustafa continued, "Israel must be forced to implement UN resolutions and end its prolonged occupation, which is the root cause of instability in our region."

Mustafa also stressed the need to empower the State of Palestine and its government to lead the process of unifying the state's territories and institutions, and to begin reconstruction with support from international and Arab partners, just as called for in the resolutions of the Arab Summit and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

Mustafa stressed "the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire, in line with Security Council Resolution 2735," reiterating "our collective opposition to annexation and displacement, and our shared commitment to Palestinian reconstruction, independence, and regional peace."

For his part, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan affirmed during the press conference the Kingdom's categorical rejection of attempts to displace the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip under any pretext.

Bin Farhan said, "We categorically reject the deportation of the Palestinian people from Gaza under any pretext," calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and ensuring the flow of humanitarian aid to the Strip.

For his part, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reiterated his country's rejection of any plan aimed at forcing Palestinians to leave their homeland.

He explained that the meeting was attended by the foreign ministers of Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, and Indonesia, as well as the secretaries-general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the League of Arab States, in addition to representatives from the UAE, China, Russia, Ireland, Spain, Norway, Slovenia, Nigeria, and the European Union.

Fidan stated that they discussed the humanitarian situation in Gaza, efforts to re-establish the ceasefire agreement, developments in the occupied Palestinian territories, and the consequences of the escalating Israeli aggression at the regional level, stressing the need for international action toward peace and a two-state solution.

Fidan stressed the need to ensure a permanent ceasefire in Gaza as soon as possible and to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza on a permanent basis.

He also expressed his country's support for the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, calling on the international community to provide all forms of support for peacemaking efforts.

For his part, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ati called on Israel to return to its commitments under the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

He stressed that "the exodus of the Palestinian people from their land will lead to the liquidation of the Palestinian cause," affirming that "any displacement under any pretext is completely unacceptable."
