In a bold and unifying move, 21 Arab and Muslim countries have come together to condemn the recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian territory. This joint statement, backed by Egypt’s official news agency MENA, comes amid growing concerns over regional security and a call for respectful adherence to international law.
The initiative, led by Egypt following extensive consultations between Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and his regional counterparts, saw participation from Türkiye, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Bahrain, Brunei, Chad, Gambia, Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, Egypt, and Mauritania.
The ministers stressed that the airstrikes violate international law and the principles outlined in the United Nations Charter. They emphasized the urgent need for de-escalation, respect for national sovereignty, and the maintenance of territorial integrity, warning that continued hostilities could have serious repercussions on regional peace and stability.
For our young, socially conscious readers, this unified call for a ceasefire is a powerful reminder of how collective diplomacy can help steer the world towards a safer future. Let’s keep the hope alive for peace and stability as diplomatic efforts continue. ✌️
