On the peace process in the Middle East, the ministers deplored the
Israeli attempts to demolish al-Aqsa Mosque and change its
characteristics so as to judaize it.

They called for ending the Israeli settlements in the Palestinian
territories and ending the siege on Gaza.

The ministers urged the international community to put pressure on
Israel until it compiles with the resolutions of the international
legitimacy.

The ministers underscored the importance of negotiations for
realizing a just and comprehensive peace, and voiced support to
resumption of peace talks between Syria and Israel under the
patronage of Turkey. The ministers urged the Palestinians to work for realizing national unity.
