Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia have committed to hosting an international conference on the Palestinian issue in June 2025, according to a joint statement released by the five nations' foreign ministers.
The conference aims to advance the implementation of the two-state solution and address the ongoing challenges in the Middle East.
The foreign ministers, along with the secretaries-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Arab League, called on the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council, to take concrete actions towards the establishment of two states, emphasizing that this is crucial to resolving the root causes of regional tensions.
The announcement came after a Cairo meeting, where the diplomats outlined their shared vision for a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian conflict.
The conference, co-led by Saudi Arabia and France, is seen as a critical step in efforts to reinvigorate the stalled peace process.
In related news, on January 15, Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani confirmed that Egypt, Qatar, and the United States had brokered a deal between Israel and Hamas to implement a ceasefire in Gaza and secure the release of hostages. The ceasefire officially took effect on January 19.
