Eight Arab and Muslim nations released a statement on Monday backing US President Donald Trump’s plan to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza and establish an international peace keeping force there.
The countries are: Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Indonesia and Pakistan.
The mix of countries includes Nato ally Turkey, rich Gulf states that could contribute to Gaza’s reconstruction, and large South Asian countries that have signalled a willingness to send troops to Gaza.
The countries said they welcome “the role of the American president and his sincere efforts aimed at ending the war in Gaza” and “affirm their readiness to engage positively and constructively with the United States and the parties toward finalising the agreement and ensuring its implementation”.
