Twenty-one Arab and Muslim countries jointly condemned Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iran in a statement issued Monday.
The declaration, facilitated by Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, calls for urgent regional de-escalation and nuclear disarmament without selectivity.
The coalition includes Türkiye, Jordan, UAE, Pakistan, Bahrain, Brunei, Chad, Gambia, Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, Egypt, and Mauritania.
Foreign ministers labeled Israel’s attacks on Iranian territory as clear violations of international law and the United Nations Charter.
They stressed respect for national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the principles of good neighborliness as essential for peace.
The statement warned of dangerous escalation, highlighting risks to regional security and long-term stability.
It urged an immediate halt to hostilities and called for comprehensive efforts toward a ceasefire across the region.
Tensions escalated sharply after Israel launched coordinated airstrikes targeting military and nuclear sites in Iran last Friday.
In response, Tehran launched retaliatory missile strikes, marking a serious intensification of conflict.
Israeli officials reported at least 24 deaths and hundreds wounded from Iranian missile attacks since the escalation began.
Iranian authorities said Israeli assaults have killed at least 224 people and injured more than 1,000 others.
The unfolding crisis casts a shadow over the region, underscoring fragile balances and the urgent need for dialogue and restraint.
