A resolution from the Joint Arab-Islamic Summit denounces “Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.”

A united Arab and Islamic conference in Riyadh produced a final declaration that calls for an end to Israel’s aggression against Gaza and to “war crimes and barbaric, brutal, and inhumane massacres.”

We denounce the barbaric, violent, and merciless atrocities carried out by the colonial occupation authority against the Palestinian people, including those that take place in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, as well as the Israeli assault directed against the Gaza Strip. We request that it be halted right away,” the resolution stated.

According to the statement, the summit urges that the closure of Gaza be lifted and that convoys carrying food, medicine, and gasoline be allowed entry right away. It also rejects the idea that this “war of revenge” is one of self-defence.Additionally, it required the UN Security Council to make a “decisive and binding decision” requiring an end to hostilities.

It continued, “We demand the Security Council take an immediate decision denouncing Israel’s savage destruction of hospitals in the Gaza Strip and preventing the entry of food, fuel, and medical supplies.”In addition, the resolution demanded that Israel be held accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian lands by the International Criminal Court.

It demanded that all nations cease supplying Israel’s army and the “terrorist settlers who kill Palestinian people and destroy their homes” with arms and ammunition.The only way to ensure security and stability for the people of the region, according to the summit, is to establish “just, lasting, and comprehensive peace.”The statement continued, saying, “We hold Israel, the occupying power, accountable for the conflict’s continuation and escalation due to its violations of human rights. It is impossible to attain security from violent cycles and wars unless the Israeli occupation is terminated.”

During the meeting, Muslim and Arab leaders criticise the West and demand a truce.

As the humanitarian situation in Gaza deteriorates, leaders at the Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit in Riyadh on Saturday renewed calls for an Israeli-Hamas truce.

Following the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two nations in March, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is attending the summit in the capital of Saudi Arabia, making it the first visit by an Iranian leader to the country in eleven years. According to Raisi, participants had come to support the Islamic world’s efforts to “save the Palestinians.” During his introductory remarks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman declared, “We categorically reject this brutal war”.

“The United States, which has the greatest influence on Israel, bears responsibility for the absence of a political solution,” stated Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority.He declared, “We demand that they cease Israeli aggression and Israeli land occupation.”

“Immediately put an end to the brutal Israeli aggression on Palestinians,” he demanded of the UN Security Council, and he reiterated the importance of securing assistance supplies’ passage into Gaza.He then said, “My mind cannot believe that this is happening in front of the entire world without demanding an immediate end to this horrific war.”

During the conference, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated, “The world remaining silent in the face of this brutality shames us all.”

“Even though Gaza has been all but demolished, Western nations aren’t even demanding a ceasefire. Without a doubt, Erdogan continued, “Anyone who says nothing against injustice is complicit in its practise. The president of Turkey stated that although no one condones the events of October 7, Israel is not justified in killing civilians and that Israel is attempting to exact retribution for Hamas’ October 7 strikes.

Erdogan declared, “Words have become insufficient in describing what is happening in Gaza and Ramallah since October 7,” alleging that Israel was engaging in “brutal and barbaric ways that are unparalleled in history,” attacking civilians, hospitals, ambulances, and places of worship.

The normalisation agreements between Arab nations and Israel have drawn criticism from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who claims that the policy is counterproductive.”More killings against us equal more hands extended by us… Stopping any political process with the Zionist entity is the first step in using real political tools, not rhetorical ones, to aid Palestine, he stated.

According to Assad, the current events in Gaza should not be viewed in a vacuum but rather as a “manifestation” of the Palestinian cause and a “blatant expression of the suffering” that Palestinians endure.

He declared, “We will create the conditions for the massacre to be completed and the cause to die if we respond to the aggression against Gaza today using the same approach.” Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the emir of Qatar, denounced the international community for its inability to “end war crimes and massacres” in Gaza.

“We are curious as to how long the international community will treat Israel as though it is exempt from international law and as long as it will be allowed to disobey all international laws in its merciless, never-ending war on the nation’s indigenous population,” the ruler of Qatar stated.

“We hope to reach a humanitarian truce in the near future,” the emir stated, adding that Qatar continues to support all diplomatic efforts at the regional and global levels for “de-escalation, stemming the bloodshed, and protecting civilians, including continuing efforts in humanitarian mediation to release hostages.”

According to the Iranian president, the Saudi conference is intended to “save the Palestinians.

At an emergency summit on the Israel-Hamas conflict in Saudi Arabia, Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi stated that participants had come on behalf of the Islamic world to “save the Palestinians.”

We’ve convened here today to talk about the Islamic world’s primary concern, the Palestinian struggle, where the worst crimes in history have been committed.The valiant defence and support of Al-Aqsa Mosque have reached a historic milestone today, the speaker declared on Saturday during the Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit in Riyadh.

According to Raisi, the history of Gaza is a “struggle between two axes,” and it is up to the rest of the world to decide which side it supports—that of “nobility” or that which “destroys human generations.”

The Israeli offensive has received support from the United States, which the Iranian president called “the main partner in these crimes.”In light of the above, Raisi’s attendance at the summit is noteworthy. Iran has strong ties to Hamas and Hezbollah, the militant Lebanese group that has been at odds with Israel. This is the first time an Iranian leader has visited Saudi Arabia in almost ten years.
