Muscat: Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, Foreign Minister, received today a phone call from Hussein Al-Sheikh, Vice President of the State of Palestine and Deputy Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
During the call, they discussed the tragic developments in the Palestinian territories, particularly the ongoing Israeli genocide against civilians in the Gaza Strip, as well as the policies of starvation and siege imposed on the Strip.
The two sides emphasized the importance of combined regional and international efforts to halt this brutal aggression, lift the blockade, and ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid. They also stressed the need to continue supporting diplomatic, political, and legal efforts aimed at resuming serious negotiations leading to a just and comprehensive peace, in accordance with international references and the two-state solution.
On his turn, the Foreign Minister called for a stronger global appeal to uphold humanity and end the atrocities and famine in Gaza. He reaffirmed Oman’s steadfast approach, based on dialogue, justice, respect for international law, and support for the Palestinian people’s right to establish their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
