Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait announced their support for the agreement on the new phases of the Gaza peace plan announced by US President Donald Trump and the Peace Council. The four countries emphasized that Israel must fully withdraw from Gaza and the plan must be implemented according to the set timetable.
Statement from Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry said it welcomed Trump's announcement of a 'historic agreement on disarmament in Gaza.' The ministry thanked Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, the US, the Peace Council and all partners who contributed to the process.
The statement noted the kingdom's commitment to the full implementation of the comprehensive peace plan endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2803. It highlighted the importance of carrying out all phases of the plan 'in a credible, final and irreversible manner' within the set timeline.
"The full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, the deployment of an international stabilization force, ensuring an uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid, and supporting reconstruction efforts are necessary."
Saudi Arabia stated that the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza and preserving the integrity of the occupied Palestinian territories form the basis for the peace plan's success. The statement said this agreement should mark the beginning of a comprehensive political process that secures all rights of the Palestinian people, including self-determination and the establishment of an independent state.
Qatar's call
Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman held a phone call with Hamas Political Bureau Chief Khalil al-Hayya, congratulating him on his new role. During the call, they expressed satisfaction with Hamas's acceptance of the roadmap to complete the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
According to a statement from Qatar's Foreign Ministry, Bin Abdulrahman expressed hope that this step would contribute to ending the suffering of the Palestinian people and fulfilling their aspirations for security and stability. The Qatari Prime Minister stressed that the international community must pressure Israel to fulfill its obligations under the agreement and halt its persistent violations of Palestinian rights.
Jordan's demands
Jordan's Foreign Ministry welcomed the agreement announced by Trump, which includes 'disarmament arrangements and Israel's withdrawal.' The ministry praised Trump's 'leadership role' and the efforts of Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the Peace Council.
Jordan reiterated its commitment to the full and credible implementation of all phases of the comprehensive peace plan in line with UNSC Resolution 2803. The statement stressed the need for the full withdrawal of the Israeli army from Gaza, deployment of an international stabilization force, unobstructed delivery of adequate and sustainable humanitarian aid, and support for reconstruction.
Jordan stated that the agreement should mark the start of a comprehensive political process that meets the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and leads to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the pre-June 4, 1967 borders.
Kuwait's support
Kuwait's Foreign Ministry also welcomed the agreement on implementing the comprehensive peace plan in Gaza. The ministry praised the efforts of Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, the US, the Peace Council and all relevant parties in reaching this agreement.
Kuwait reiterated its support for the full implementation of all phases of the peace plan, in accordance with UNSC Resolution 2803, including the complete withdrawal of occupying Israeli forces from Gaza, ensuring uninterrupted humanitarian aid flows, supporting reconstruction efforts, and the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza.
Hamas's acceptance and Israel's response
The Peace Council issued a roadmap document for the full implementation of Trump's comprehensive peace plan for Gaza. The document includes security, administrative and transitional arrangements and the proposed political path.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem announced that the movement accepted the mediators' proposal to complete the stages of the ceasefire agreement.
While the Israeli government did not issue an official statement on the document, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir described the draft agreement on the next phase of the ceasefire as 'unacceptable' for Israel, and called for continued assassinations and the expulsion of Palestinians.
Background
On November 17, 2025, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2803 with the support of 13 countries, while Russia and China abstained, endorsing Trump's Gaza plan. The resolution envisions the establishment of the Peace Council, the creation of a temporary international stabilization force, and support for a committee of Palestinian technocrats to administer Gaza, coordinate aid and oversee reconstruction.
The Trump plan, announced on September 29, 2025, consists of 20 points and includes stopping the war, swapping Israeli detainees and Palestinian prisoners, the entry of humanitarian aid, a phased Israeli withdrawal contingent on the disarmament of groups, deployment of a temporary international stabilization force, governance of Gaza by a technocratic committee excluding Hamas, and reconstruction.
The first phase, which began on October 10, 2025, included a ceasefire, prisoner exchange and expanded aid, but due to Israel's continued bombardment and restrictions on aid entry, many Palestinians were killed and wounded.
In the genocidal war Israel launched on Gaza on October 8, 2023, around 73,000 Palestinians lost their lives, more than 174,000 were injured, and 90 percent of civilian infrastructure was destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are struggling to survive in makeshift tents and temporary shelters after their homes were demolished.
