ISLAMABAD: Eight Muslim countries, including Pakistan, have reiterated their appeal for the international community to meet its legal and moral duties and take concrete actions to pressure Israel to stop its escalation in the occupied West Bank, according to a joint statement issued on Monday.

The statement strongly reaffirmed the nullity of Israel’s annexation of occupied Palestinian lands, stressing that such actions violate international law and United Nations resolutions.

It also condemned what it described as inciting statements by Israeli officials, warning that such rhetoric further fuels instability and tensions in the occupied territories.

The participants urged the global community to move beyond statements of concern and take effective measures to ensure accountability and protection for the Palestinian people.

They emphasized that continued escalation in the occupied West Bank poses a serious threat to regional peace and undermines prospects for a just and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue.

The statement reiterated support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and called for respect for international law, including the protection of civilians under occupation.
