Even Arab Nations Agree: No Peace Can Be Reached with Hamas
31st July 2025
At a pivotal UN conference in New York, several key Arab nations—including Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan—have jointly called for the end of Hamas’ control over the Gaza Strip. The proposal, outlined in a seven-page document, argues that dismantling the Hamas government is essential to resolving the long-standing Israel-Palestine conflict.
“As part of ending the war in the Gaza Strip, Hamas must end its rule in the Gaza Strip and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority with international commitment and support,” the document declares. The statement also condemns Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
A total of 17 countries have endorsed the proposal so far, with backing from Western nations, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Norway, and Ireland. More endorsements are expected ahead of September, when the initiative is scheduled for formal adoption at the UN.
