Muscat: In his address at the opening of the 2025 Young Presidents' Organisation (YPO) Summit in Muscat, His Excellency Sayyid Badr Hamad Al Busaidi, Foreign Minister emphasised that many international plans for the future of Palestine are based on unjust and unsustainable foundations. These plans are often rooted in adversarial policies that deny the Palestinian people their fundamental right to choose their leadership and determine their own destiny.
His Excellency noted that while many governments advocate for a two-state solution as the path to peace in Palestine, they often refrain from recognizing the State of Palestine due to their stance on certain political factions, such as Hamas. This selective recognition blinds them to the legitimate demands of these factions and hinders genuine progress towards a lasting resolution.
His Excellency highlighted the core principles of the Sultanate of Oman's foreign policy: openness, neutrality, and mutual respect. These values are essential for fostering peace and stability in the region.
