Jordan will host a meeting of the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee on Wednesday aimed at coordinating international efforts to stop the ongoing war on Gaza. The committee will convene to discuss joint Arab-Islamic action ahead of the high-level week of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, taking place in New York later this month. The meeting will focus on addressing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the escalating humanitarian crisis, and ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid to the area. Additionally, the committee will seek to halt the dangerous Israeli escalation in the occupied West Bank and violations of the legal and historical status quo at Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem. Formed during an extraordinary joint Arab-Islamic summit in Riyadh on November 11 last year, the committee is tasked with representing the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League in international forums. It aims to pressure for an immediate cessation of the Gaza war and initiate a political process towards permanent peace based on international resolutions. The committee is chaired by Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister and includes representatives from Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, Indonesia, Nigeria, Bahrain, as well as the Secretary-General of the Arab League and the Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Since its formation, the committee has undertaken 14 diplomatic missions to key international capitals, engaging with world leaders and foreign ministers to rally support for stopping the Gaza war, safeguarding civilians, securing sustainable humanitarian aid, and advancing the two-state solution.
