The signatories added that they were looking forward to working with Trump’s administration to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East based on a two-state solution -- Never mind unjustifiable terror against Israel Rewarding terrorism
Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Palestinian Authority and Arab League say such plans would pose a threat to regional stability, risk expanding conflict
The foreign ministers rejected any “infringement of the inalienable rights” of Palestinians, whether by “settlement, expulsion, home demolitions, annexation, depopulation of the land of its people through displacement, encouraged transfer or the uprooting of Palestinians from their land.”
The statement warned that such plans: 1. “threaten the region’s stability, 2. risk expanding the conflict 3. undermine prospects for peace and coexistence among its peoples.”
