Seven Muslim countries, including Türkiye, on Sunday "strongly" condemned Israel's repeated ceasefire violations in Gaza that have killed and injured over a thousand Palestinians.

"These actions risk escalating tensions and undermining efforts aimed at consolidating calm and restoring stability, at a time when regional and international parties are working collectively to advance the second phase of the (US) President Donald Trump’s peace plan and to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803," the foreign ministers of Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia said in a joint statement issued by the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

The ministers said they view these repeated violations as a direct threat to the political process, hindering efforts to establish conditions for a transition to a more stable phase in the Gaza Strip in both security and humanitarian aspects.

They also called for full commitment to the success of the second phase of Trump's Gaza peace plan.

The ministers urged all parties to fulfill their responsibilities during this period and to exercise restraint in order to maintain the ceasefire and avoid actions that could negatively affect the current process.

They also called on the parties to create conditions conducive to early recovery and reconstruction, while advancing a just and permanent peace rooted in the Palestinian right to self-determination and statehood, in line with international law, relevant UN Security Council resolutions, and the Arab Peace Initiative.

Despite the ceasefire, Israel has continued its attacks, killing 524 people and injuring 1,360 others since October 10, according to Gaza’s media office.
