Muscat: The Sultanate of Oman on Thursday condemned the Israeli Knesset's approval of a draft bill calling for the imposition of Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank in Palestine. In its response, Oman expressed strong disapproval of the decision, emphasizing its implications for regional stability and peace efforts.
According to Emirates News Agency, the Omani Foreign Ministry issued a statement highlighting that the move defies international law and the resolutions of the international community. The statement emphasized that the decision undermines Middle East peace efforts, the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, and the two-state solution, which has been an essential goal for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The statement from Oman further reiterated its rejection of Israel's continued policies, specifically those involving blockade and restriction of essential supplies such as food, medicine, and humanitarian aid to the population in the Gaza Strip and other occupied Palestinian territories. The Omani government holds Israel and its supporters accountable for the legal, humanitarian, and political consequences of these actions, which, it claims, violate international humanitarian law.
