In 1st, entire Arab League condemns Oct. 7, urges Hamas to disarm, at 2-state confab
Times of Israel ^ | 7/30/25 | Agencies, ToI Staff and Jacob Magid

Declaration, also signed by EU and over a dozen countries, urges terror group to give up Gaza rule, free hostages; calls on Israel to end war, agree to Palestinian state, ‘right of return’

Arab and Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, signed a declaration Tuesday condemning for the first time Hamas’s onslaught of October 7, 2023, and calling on the Palestinian terror group to release all the hostages it is holding, disarm and end its rule of Gaza, in a bid to end the devastating war in the Strip.

Seventeen countries, plus the 22-member Arab League and the entire European Union, threw their weight behind a seven-page text — obtained by The Times of Israel — agreed at a United Nations conference on reviving the two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians.

The “New York Declaration” sets out a phased plan to end the nearly eight-decade conflict and the ongoing war in Gaza. The plan would culminate with an independent, demilitarized Palestine living side by side peacefully with Israel, and their eventual integration into the wider Middle East region.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposes a two-state solution and has rejected the meeting on both nationalistic and security grounds. Israel’s close ally, the United States, is also boycotting, calling the meeting “unproductive and ill-timed.”

...

On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar told international journalists that Israel would not give in to the “distorted campaign of international pressure” to end the war in Gaza and force a two-state solution on Israel.

“Establishing a Palestinian state today is establishing a Hamas state. A jihadist state,” said Sa’ar. “It ain’t gonna happen.”

The awkwardly constructed headline detracts from the significance of this development. There's a lot more to read and analyse in the article.

perhaps a baby step forward in that Arabs are part of process, but extremely delusional. who believes that a vow to disarm by Hamas is worth a plug nickel without deradicalization shown to have been successful over a period of time. their hate permeates every institution, schools and many minds after years of brainwashing.

This is so unexpected that I fear it’s not true.

“Two state” means that the terrorists get their own little country?

Trump should go back to his original plan - let Arab states create a ‘homeland’ for the Palestinians far far away from Israel. Them divide up Gaza and turn it into a vacation destination.

I was going to suggest Guam, but I fear the island may tip over.

never any Fakestinian state anywhere in or near Israel, period, end of file.

if they wanna create a Fakestinian state, they can set one up on an Indonesian island which will enable good guarding against Fakestinians ever again attacking or terrorizing anybody), or the French Riviera (france having invited them to move there), or Barcelona Spain, or Ireland (karma for its recently under almost pure Nazi government), or Antartica.

So France and the UK are officially more pro-Hamas than the Arab League. Can’t make this shit up.

MBS is probably interested in normalizing relations with Israel. But the hard-liners in Saudi Arabia won’t let him do that.

The Muslim nations are "bravely" condemning the Oct 7 attacks ... two years after the fact and after Hamas has been thoroughly beaten. So it's not like they're demanding Hamas give up anything, while they're demanding Israel give up any chance for real peace by rewarding the modern day Nazis with a permanent presence in their country.

If I was running Israel I'd push all of the "Palestinians" towards the outer edges of Israel's borders (touching on Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon). And every time they attacked I'd kill more of them and take over a little more and a little more land, pushing them more and more into the Muslim nations that claim to care so much about the plight of the pitiful little "Palestinians". Eventually they'd be either all dead, all pushed into other nations, or the Muslim nations would quit funding their non-stop attacks against Israel.

I think that they are all welcome to move to France now.

... and their eventual integration into the wider Middle East region

"Eventual" should mean after the current Palestinian arab generations die out. The blood thirsty savages can't be integrated anywhere without terror happening. Maybe move them to Antartica.

It's greatly unsung, but the first trip Donald and Melania made to the Middle East at the beginning of his first term, he spoke to a similar assembly of leaders and pointed out their nations' positive attributes, geographies and cultures, and encouraged them to team up and resist terrorist extremism that was negatively affectling their nations. The crowd was skeptical as he began, but you could feel them warming up to his message through the YouTube.

Our media of course downplayed it; but it helped lead to his triumph of the Abraham Accords later in his first administration. Haters gonna hate, and I'll be the first to roll my eyes at some of Trump's abrasiveness, but he truly is a negotiating genius and statesman for the ages.

Brief excerpt, 1 min 57 secs:

Trump Urges Arab, Muslim Leaders To 'Drive Out The Terrorists'
In a May 21, 2017 address to more than 50 regional leaders in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, U.S. President Donald Trump said "a better future" is only possible for the Middle East if its "nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the extremists."

or the French Riviera (france having invited them to move there)

May I suggest Devil's Island. It is still French territory and the name is appropriate.

Hi!
That is a neat connection between moving the Fakestinians to an ISLAND where they can be easily and effectively guarded to prevent them from ever terrorizing or attacking people ever again

and France/French territory, since France has invited the Fakestinians to go there.

Devil’s Island is quite a distance from mainland France, of course, but it is an ISLAND ... which is perfect for this purpose.

Thanks

NO TWO-STATE! Let the Arabs open their lands which is plentifully to the terrorist palis for their two state solution.

“Right of Return”

Is that for the millions of Jews chased out of muslim countries before the scimitar sliced their neck?

Do they get their old land, businesses and cash back?

“...they can set one up on an Indonesian island...”

Halmalhera would be perfect. They’ve already killed off the Christians, so it will be comfortable for them to be with fellow genocidists.
