Background

A joint statement on developments relating to the Palestinian cause was issued after a consultative meeting dated 5 November 2026. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the African Union each published the text; the African Union text refers to 'the three organizations'. The statement addresses a two-state solution, a Gaza Peace Agreement, forced displacement, diplomatic missions in Jerusalem and Israeli settlements. The sources describe these matters in the statement's own terms, and Israel's position is not given in the passages.

Compiled by AI only from the official statements below, not from other sources. Facts no source disputes are stated plainly; everything else is attributed. How this works.
