Arab-Islamic summit mandates Nigeria, others to end Israel-Palestine crisis
The Joint Arab-Islamic Summit has mandated Nigeria and other member states on the Ministerial Committee to engage global leaders towards ending the ongoing war in Gaza and Lebanon.
This decision was part of the resolution of the extraordinary Joint Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Monday.
President Bola Tinubu’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
The statement said Mr Tinubu and other leaders from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the League of Arab States were in attendance.
The Joint Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was formed by a resolution at the First Joint Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh on November 11, 2023.
The group included the foreign ministers of Nigeria, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, Indonesia, Palestine and Jordan.
In a communiqué, the summit urged the Ministerial Committee to “intensify its efforts and expand them to include working on ending the aggression on Lebanon.”
According to the resolution, the committee will submit periodic reports, which the secretariats of the OIC and the League of Arab States will circulate to member states.
The committee was also mandated to further engage with actors across the Global South to strengthen international support towards ending the war and Israeli occupation.
