The ministers condemned the Israeli air raid that targeted Nasser Medical Complex which resulted in casualties among patients and medical staff, considering it to be a "violation of international humanitarian law that guarantees special protection for medical facilities and health workers."
They also condemned Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, including the targeting of tents and other sites sheltering displaced people, warning that these attacks undermine the ceasefire agreement and efforts to restore security and stability in the Gaza Strip, and contradict US President Donald Trump’s overall plan to end the war.
The ministers expressed their concern about the continued Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid and shelter materials into the Gaza Strip, including tents, caravans and mobile homes, and called for ensuring their safe and sustainable access.
The ministers called on Israel to respond to the appeals of the international community and the Peace Council to increase aid, and to immediately and fully comply with its obligations under the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement, President Trump’s comprehensive plan and UN Security Council Resolution 2803 of 2025.
The UN resolution welcomed Trump’s 20-point plan to end the conflict in Gaza, issued on September 29, 2025, according to the UN website.
The ministers called on Israel to commit to a ceasefire, protect civilians and medical facilities, ensure the safe, sustainable and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid in sufficient quantities, as well as enable UN agencies and humanitarian organizations to carry out their tasks.
In this context, they called on the United States and the Peace Council to intensify their efforts to ensure that Israel implements its obligations under the ceasefire agreement and lifts all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid, in order to maintain the credibility of the understandings and strengthen the ceasefire.
The ministers reaffirmed their determination to continue working with regional and international partners to consolidate the ceasefire, implement all phases of the plan, and increase humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Palestinian sources say that Israel is not adhering to the terms of the ceasefire agreement in effect since October 10, 2025, which includes halting military operations, opening crossings, and allowing the entry of agreed-upon quantities of food, relief, medical aid, and building materials.
The humanitarian and living conditions in the sector have worsened with the arrival of winter, and the dilapidated tents of the displaced have been flooded with rainwater, after more than 3 years of the Israeli war on Gaza.
The ceasefire agreement was reached after two years of a genocidal war launched by Israel on October 8, 2023, which resulted in the martyrdom of more than 74,000 Palestinians and the injury of more than 176,000, and caused massive destruction affecting 90% of the civilian infrastructure.
