The United States, Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan and Türkiye issued a joint statement supporting the draft UN Security Council resolution currently under consideration.
The text, drafted by Washington after consultations with regional partners, endorses the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict announced on 29 September and reaffirmed in Sharm el Sheikh.
The group described the initiative as a pathway toward Palestinian self-determination and statehood, saying it was a sincere effort to bring stability to both sides and to the wider region.
The State of Palestine welcomed the statement issued on 14 November, saying it represented an important step toward a permanent ceasefire and a structured political process.
Ramallah said the plan must ensure the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, the restoration of normal life, and the acceleration of humanitarian assistance.
The Palestinian leadership said the plan should prevent displacement, stop any erosion of the two-state framework, and halt attempts at annexation. It emphasised that reconstruction must begin immediately once conditions allow.
Palestine welcomed the affirmation of its people’s right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state in line with international law. It said the initiative should advance peace, security and stability for both Palestinians and Israelis.
The Palestinian government also reiterated its readiness to assume full responsibility for governance in the Gaza Strip, framing Gaza as an integral part of the State of Palestine and stressing the unity of its land, people and institutions.
The joint statement comes at a moment when diplomatic pressure has intensified around Gaza, with the conflict entering a protracted phase and humanitarian conditions worsening.
The U.S.-backed plan is the most comprehensive political framework put forward since the fighting began, combining a ceasefire roadmap, security arrangements, and a governance transition.
Regional states have been increasingly vocal in urging a coordinated approach, reflecting concerns about spillover effects, displacement, and the long-term viability of the two-state solution.
