The collective emphasized the urgency of ceasing aggression, alleviating the humanitarian crisis, facilitating the return of displaced persons, and ensuring the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. A comprehensive reconstruction plan within a two-state framework, based on UN resolutions, was underscored.

Implementing a two-state solution, with a sovereign Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital, alongside Israel, was advocated as the path to regional security and peace, aligning with international legitimacy resolutions.
