MUSCAT – The call focused on the tragic developments in the Palestinian territories, particularly the ongoing Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip, including what was described as a genocidal campaign against civilians and the policy of starvation and blockade imposed on the population.

Both sides underscored the urgent need for coordinated regional and international efforts to halt the violence, lift the blockade, and facilitate the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. They also reaffirmed their commitment to supporting diplomatic, political, and legal initiatives aimed at reviving serious peace negotiations, based on internationally recognized terms of reference and the two-state solution.

His Excellency Sayyid Badr called for a stronger global appeal to address the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, end the atrocities and famine, and reaffirm the collective moral responsibility of the international community.

He also emphasised the Sultanate of Oman’s unwavering stance rooted in the principles of dialogue, justice, and respect for international law. He reiterated Oman’s firm support for the Palestinian people’s right to establish an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
