Arab committee to launch international platform on Israeli violations at holy sites in Jerusalem

The committee agreed to establish an international media platform to document alleged Israeli violations against holy sites and worshippers, and to highlight their impact on international peace and security. They also called for a joint ministerial meeting between the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation during the UN General Assembly in New York to coordinate efforts. The participants rejected Israeli attempts to alter Jerusalem's legal and demographic status and called on the international community and the UN Security Council to take immediate action to halt Israeli measures in Jerusalem and the occupied Palestinian territories.

They reaffirmed that East Jerusalem is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territories and the capital of a future Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders, and stated that the two-state solution is the only path to peace. The statement urged an end to Israeli settlement expansion, land annexation, and actions targeting Palestinian institutions and UNRWA, and called for efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The participants condemned Israeli violations at Al-Aqsa Mosque, reaffirming it as an exclusive Muslim place of worship and the Jerusalem waqf department as the sole legal authority for its administration.
