Foreign Ministers Condemn Israel's West Bank Measures in Joint Statement

Foreign ministers from Brazil, France, Spain, Turkey, and other countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, and representatives of the Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, condemned Israel's February 15 cabinet decision to extend control over the West Bank. The joint statement, issued by the Turkish Foreign Ministry, criticized measures reclassifying Palestinian land as Israeli state land and accelerating settlement activity, calling these actions violations of international law and a step toward de facto annexation that undermine regional peace efforts.
