A joint assertion launched on Monday by the foreign ministers of 21 Arab and Islamic countries condemned the ongoing Israeli military aggression against Iran, which has been escalating tensions within the Center East.
The assertion was once issued by the foreign ministers of Algeria, Bahrain, Brunei Darussalam, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Gambia, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Mauritania, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Türkiye, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The assertion said Israel’s strikes on Iran violate the foundations of the Charter of the United Nations.
It also emphasized the need of “respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states” and “adhering to the principles of good neighborliness, and the peaceful settlement of disputes.”
The joint assertion expressed “great concern regarding this dangerous escalation, which threatens to have serious consequences on the peace and stability of the entire region.”
Stressing the importance of “diplomacy, dialogue, and adherence to the principles of good neighborliness, in accordance with international law and the UN Charter”, the assertion identified that “military means cannot bring about a lasting resolution to the ongoing crisis.”
