The ministers reaffirmed their unequivocal rejection of such acts, as well as of the continued illegal measures undertaken by Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
They warned that these actions contribute to instability, violence and extremism, while undermining international efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace. The ministers also held Israel, as the occupying Power, responsible for the attacks.
They renewed their call on the international community to fulfil its legal and moral obligations by taking effective measures to compel Israel to halt its escalation in the occupied West Bank, cease its unlawful practices, put an end to settler violence and ensure that those responsible for such crimes are held accountable and do not enjoy impunity.
The foreign ministers expressed their unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people and their steadfast support for the fulfilment of their legitimate and inalienable national rights, foremost among them the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
They also reiterated their support for all efforts aimed at ending the Israeli occupation and achieving a just, comprehensive and lasting peace through the two-State solution, in accordance with international law, relevant United Nations resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
