GCC-ASEAN summit calls for Gaza ceasefire

The leaders participating in the summit of the GCC countries and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) expressed Friday their deep concern regarding the developments in Gaza, as stated in the summit's statement.
The statement condemned all attacks against civilians and called on all relevant parties to establish a permanent ceasefire. It emphasised the importance of ensuring the efficient and effective delivery of humanitarian aid, relief supplies, and other essentials and basic services. This includes the restoration of electricity and water, as well as unobstructed access to fuel, food, and medicine throughout Gaza.
The participants urged all parties to protect civilians, refrain from targeting them, and adhere to international humanitarian law, particularly the principles and provisions of the Geneva Convention on the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War dated August 12, 1949. The statement also called for the immediate and unconditional release of civilian hostages and detainees, especially women, children, the sick, and the elderly.
The statement encouraged all relevant parties to work towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict based on a two-state solution with the borders of June 4, 1967, in accordance with international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.
The participating leaders affirmed their support for the initiative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the European Union, and the League of Arab States to revive the peace process in the Middle East, in cooperation with Egypt and Jordan, and to resolve the conflict between Israel and its neighbors according to international law and all relevant United Nations resolutions related to this conflict.
