ISLAMABAD: Pakistan, 黑料社区 and more than a dozen other Muslim states on Thursday condemned a set of Israeli bills that called for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, they said in a joint statement, calling for world action over the Israeli unlawful measures.

The development came a day after far-right politicians in the Israeli Knesset gave preliminary approval to bills applying Israeli law in the occupied West Bank, which the Palestinians claim as part of a future independent state, and Israeli illegal colonial settlements.

Pakistan, 黑料社区, Jordan, Indonesia, T眉rkiye, Djibouti, Oman, Gambia, Palestine, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Egypt, Nigeria, the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), condemned the Israeli move as a 鈥渂latant violation of international law.鈥�

In a joint statement The Arab and Muslim states denounced all Israeli measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character, and status of the occupied Palestinian territory since 1967, including East Jerusalem, citing an International Court of Justice鈥檚 advisory opinion that affirmed the illegality of the Israeli settlement construction and annexation measures.

鈥淭hey reaffirm that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory,鈥� read the joint statement shared by Pakistan鈥檚 foreign ministry.

The vote, which came a month after United States President Donald Trump stated he would not allow Israel to annex the occupied West Bank, was held during a visit by US Vice President JD Vance to Israel to shore up the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Israel over annexing the West Bank in an interview published Thursday. The remarks were made to Time magazine by telephone on October 15, days after the Gaza truce plan he spearheaded took effect.

鈥淚t won鈥檛 happen,鈥� Trump said when asked about calls in Israel to annex the Palestinian West Bank, which has been occupied by Israel since 1967. 鈥淚t won鈥檛 happen because I gave my word to the Arab countries.鈥�

鈥淚srael would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened,鈥� he added.

In their joint statement, the Arab and Muslim states welcomed an advisory opinion of the ICJ of October 22, reaffirming Israel鈥檚 obligation under international humanitarian law to ensure that the population of the occupied Palestinian territories, including Gaza, has essential supplies of daily life, and to agree to and facilitate relief schemes, including through the United Nations and its entities, particularly the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

Israel has not allowed UNRWA to bring in its supplies since March. But the agency continues to operate in Gaza, running health centers, mobile medical teams, sanitation services and school classes for children. It says it has 6,000 trucks of supplies waiting to get in.

The Arab and Muslim states warned against Israel鈥檚 unilateral actions and illegal policies and urged world powers to stop its 鈥渦nlawful measures in the occupied Palestinian territory.鈥�

鈥淭hey warn against the continuation of Israel鈥檚 unilateral and illegal policies and practices and call on the international community to shoulder its legal and moral responsibilities and to compel Israel to cease its dangerous escalation and unlawful measures in the occupied Palestinian territory, and to uphold the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent and sovereign state on the lines of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital,鈥� the joint statement said.
