Jordanian Foreign Ministry: The Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee on Gaza postpones its visit to Ramallah.

The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates announced in an official statement issued today that members of the ministerial committee assigned by the extraordinary joint Arab-Islamic summit regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip will arrive in the Jordanian capital, Amman, this evening, Saturday.

The statement explained that the visit to Amman was primarily intended to hold an important coordination meeting between the committee members, prior to a planned visit by the ministerial delegation to the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

The delegation was scheduled to depart from the Jordanian capital, Amman, tomorrow, Sunday, heading to Ramallah.

Postpone the visit

The statement indicated that the ministerial committee had decided to postpone this important visit to Ramallah. The ministry attributed this postponement to "Israel's obstruction of the visit," explaining that Israeli authorities had refused to allow the ministerial delegation to enter through the airspace of the occupied West Bank, over which Israel maintains full control.

This development reflects the extent of the obstacles facing Arab and Islamic diplomatic efforts aimed at supporting the Palestinian cause and coordinating with the Palestinian National Authority regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip and developments related to the conflict.

It also highlights the restrictions imposed by Israel on the movement of official delegations to the occupied Palestinian territories, which constitute an obstacle to international and regional efforts to find solutions to the current crisis.

The statement did not specify a possible new date for the postponed visit, but consultations among members of the ministerial committee are expected to continue in Amman to assess the situation and take appropriate steps in light of this Israeli obstruction.

The ministerial committee includes foreign ministers from a number of Arab and Islamic countries. It was formed pursuant to a decision made by the extraordinary joint Arab-Islamic summit held to discuss the repercussions of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
