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

On July 23, 2026, foreign ministers from eight Muslim-majority nations — Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE — issued their fifth joint statement this year over "continued mass actions" at Al-Aqsa Mosque. The bloc spans four regions, an unusually sustained effort given these states' differing relations with Israel.
