Eight Muslim-majority countries, including Pakistan, have jointly condemned the escalating attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The condemnation came in a joint statement issued on Thursday by the foreign ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The statement specifically denounced recent assaults on two mosques north of Ramallah — the Grand Mosque in Jiljiliya village and the Al-Farooq Mosque in Mazra’a al-Nubani village.

According to the source, attacks by illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank have reached record levels. Extremist settlers have been accused of setting fire to Palestinian homes and vehicles, seizing farmland, and attacking mosques. The United Nations has reported that such violence has become a key tool in the forced displacement of Palestinians.

The joint condemnation underscores growing concern among Muslim nations over the deteriorating situation in the West Bank and the increasing frequency of settler violence against Palestinian civilians and religious sites.
