Pakistan and several Arab and Muslim nations have jointly warned that repeated Israeli violations of the Gaza ceasefire threaten regional peace, stability, and fragile diplomatic efforts underway across the Middle East.
In a coordinated statement, foreign ministers from Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar strongly condemned continued strikes causing civilian deaths.
They said these nations view the violations as dangerous at a time when regional and international actors are pushing to maintain calm and prevent a return to full-scale conflict.
Moreover, they stressed that protecting the ceasefire remains essential for avoiding wider instability that could draw in multiple regional players.

Meanwhile, Israel carried out its deadliest airstrikes since the October ceasefire, killing more than 30 people in Gaza, including three young girls from the same family, during attacks on civilian areas.
The strikes hit homes, tents, and a police station, deepening humanitarian suffering in a territory where millions already live in damaged buildings or temporary shelters.
As a result, fear and displacement have increased among Gaza residents who hoped the ceasefire would bring some relief after months of violence.
The renewed bombardment has therefore intensified international concern over the rapidly deteriorating security and humanitarian situation.

Hamas stated that Israel violated the truce through these attacks, while noting that it still controls nearly half of Gaza, where most of the population struggles with shortages and insecurity.
However, the group did not confirm whether any of its members or facilities were targeted during the latest air operations.
Despite this, the perception of ceasefire breaches has fueled anger and uncertainty across Gaza and neighboring regions.
Consequently, diplomatic pressure has grown for all sides to prevent further escalation.
Pakistan’s Foreign Office warned that such actions risk undermining ongoing efforts to advance the next phase of an internationally backed peace framework and relevant United Nations resolutions.
Officials said repeated violations directly threaten the political process and weaken chances of moving Gaza toward a more stable security and humanitarian phase.
They added that lasting calm requires strict adherence to agreed commitments by all involved parties.
Without restraint, they cautioned, prospects for recovery and reconstruction could quickly fade.
Finally, the foreign ministers urged all sides to exercise maximum restraint, preserve the ceasefire, and avoid steps that could derail fragile peace efforts.
They emphasized creating conditions for early recovery, reconstruction, and humanitarian access across Gaza.
The statement reaffirmed support for a just and lasting peace based on Palestinian self-determination and statehood.
It also highlighted alignment with international law, relevant UN resolutions, and the long-standing Arab peace initiative.
