“The 22-nation Arab League has signed onto a declaration that condemns Hamas’[s] Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel and calls on Hamas to disarm. The league includes Qatar and Egypt, which have served as mediators in talks between Israel and Hamas during the subsequent war in Gaza. It also includes Turkey, which has adopted a stance of overt hostility toward Israel during the war. The league joined the entire European Union and 17 other countries in backing the declaration at a United Nations meeting hosted by Saudi Arabia and France. The meeting’s goal included discussion of a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, an objective that not all Arab League states had previously endorsed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposes a two-state solution and his government panned the UN confab as a form of appeasement. The United States also boycotted the meeting, held in New York.” (07/31/25)
