Pakistan, alongside Egypt, Turkiye, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, has strongly condemned Israel’s rejection of a US-backed roadmap designed to end the Gaza conflict. The joint statement from the countries’ foreign ministers criticized Israel’s dismissal of both the roadmap – stemming from Donald Trump’s comprehensive plan and endorsed by UN Resolution 2803 – and the concept of a Palestinian state. They assert this rejection undermines peace efforts and places responsibility for obstructing progress on Israel. The roadmap, accepted by Palestinian factions, outlined phased steps including weapon decommissioning, Israeli withdrawal, and reconstruction of Gaza. Officials stated the plan represented a vital milestone achieved through mediation efforts by multiple nations. The countries warn Israel’s move directly threatens to derail extensive efforts to end the war and establish lasting peace in the region.
