A coalition of Arab and Islamic countries has issued a joint statement condemning Israel’s attacks on Iran and calling for an immediate halt to hostilities, warning that continued conflict poses a grave threat to regional peace and stability.
The statement, released as the Israel-Iran conflict entered its fifth day, urged both sides to cease military actions and return to the negotiating table. It also called for all regional states to join the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
Signatories to the statement include Türkiye, Egypt, Qatar, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Pakistan, and several other Arab and Islamic nations.
The countries underscored the urgent need to establish a Middle East free of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction. They stressed that diplomatic engagement remains the only viable path toward a sustainable agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme.
“Military solutions cannot provide lasting answers to the region’s crises,” the statement read, urging international support for renewed negotiations and regional disarmament efforts.
