A group of eight Muslim-majority countries, including Israel’s ally the United Arab Emirates, praise the United Kingdom’s announcement that it will impose sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank and call on other countries to do the same.
Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE put out a joint statement expressing “the hope that this decision will help mobilize the international community to take similar actions in line with international law and hold accountable settlement organizations and individuals engaged in illegal settlement activities.”
The foreign ministers also call for the “full and immediate implementation” of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point postwar plan in Gaza, and call for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem, an idea Israel rejects.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
