Eight Muslim-Majority Nations Issue Fifth Joint Statement on Al-Aqsa in 2026

On July 23, 2026, the foreign ministers of Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE issued their fifth joint statement of 2026 addressing "continued mass actions" at Al-Aqsa Mosque. The bloc spans the Gulf, Levant, South Asia, and Southeast Asia — an unusually sustained coordinated campaign by states with divergent Israel ties.
