Oman’s Foreign Ministry has issued a statement on X, welcoming the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land is in violation of international law and must end, Al Jazeera reports.

The sultanate called on “the international community to implement international resolutions and conventions calling for an immediate end to the illegal occupation of the occupied territories and an end to settlement and the cycle of violence in the Palestinian territories”.

“The Sultanate of Oman also renews its position calling for granting the Palestinian people their inalienable right to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital,” the statement concluded.
