Arab and Muslim states, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, issued a joint call for Hamas disarmament and relinquishing control of Gaza, backed by the Arab League and several other countries. This unprecedented declaration, made at a UN conference, proposes a temporary international stabilization mission and advocates for the Palestinian Authority to govern all Palestinian territories. The declaration condemns Hamas' October 7th attack on Israel and emphasizes the Two-State Solution. While mediators Qatar and Egypt maintain ties with both Hamas and Israel, Hamas shows no sign of yielding power, and Israel opposes the two-state solution.
