Israel kidnapped and tortured a one-year-old child in front of his father for 10 hours, burning cigarettes and inserting nails into his legs, in an attempt to extract a false confession under duress.

Israel kidnapped and tortured a baby!

The people who did this want you to know international law and civilian life must be protected.

Multiple children being killed everyday in Lebanon and nobody in the West gives a damn.

Arab and Muslim lives are cheap.

Did this meeting call on the US and Israel to stop attacking Iran ? Did it choose to ignore who started the war and is continuing to bomb Iran ?
Ministerial meeting calls on Iran to ‘immediately and unconditionally’ halt attacks in Gulf https://t.co/HsjEs0tWA3

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

The path away from war still exists, says @badralbusaidi, Oman’s foreign minister. He lays out what both America and Iran must do to engage in negotiations once again https://t.co/hZ6zjimqOB

[Mushahid Hussain Sayed @Mushahid]

What stopped them from speaking the TRUTH since there’s NO mention of US-Israeli illegal & immoral aggression against Iran, launched on 28 February, which is ROOT CAUSE of Gulf Crisis & Conflict? What an exercise in futility, as a golden opportunity has been missed out for Principled Peace!

Key Points from the Joint Statement Issued After the Riyadh Consultative Meeting of Arab and Islamic Foreign Ministers on the Iranian Attacks:

• Strong condemnation of the Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting countries in the region.

• The attacks targeted residential areas, civilian infrastructure, oil and water facilities, airports, and diplomatic missions.

• Affirmation that these attacks are unjustifiable under any circumstances.

• Reaffirmation of the right of states to self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

• A call on Iran to immediately cease its attacks and respect international law and the principles of good neighborliness.

• Emphasis that the future of relations with Iran is contingent upon its respect for state sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs.

• Stress on the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026) and the cessation of all hostile acts.

• Rejection of threats to international navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb.

• Condemnation of the support and arming of militias in Arab countries.

• Support for the security and stability of Lebanon, the confinement of arms to the state, and condemnation of Israeli attacks against it.

• Affirmation of continued coordination and consultation, and the adoption of all necessary measures to safeguard security and stability in the region.

- Participating countries: Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Pakistan, Qatar, Syria, Türkiye, and UAE.
