Ankara: A senior Saudi official called Saturday to 'stop redefining' the Gaza ceasefire and avoid renegotiating terms already endorsed by the UN Security Council. 'We cannot be open to redefinition and renegotiation of what we have already agreed to and also what was issued as a Security Council resolution that was passed and welcomed by all parties,' Manal Radwan, Minister Plenipotentiary at the Saudi Foreign Ministry, told the Doha Forum 2025.

According to Anadolu Agency, Radwan emphasized the importance of adhering to the initial agreements, highlighting that altering key principles could divert the focus from the main conflict. She stated, 'So we cannot go back and redefine what we mean by ceasefire, what we mean even by disarmament, what we mean by a Palestinian-led process in governing Gaza.'

Radwan expressed concerns that redefining these terms could sidetrack the region, leading to unnecessary focus on tactical details rather than addressing the core issues. 'We cannot be redefining these things back and forth and getting ourselves into a sidetrack that gets us into so many details about what, who, when, and we lose sight of the overall and the core of the conflict,' she said.

She further stressed the international consensus on the two-state solution as the only viable way forward, urging all parties to take concrete steps towards its implementation. 'Almost everyone in the international community agrees that the two-state solution is the only solution forward,' she said. 'If that is so, then it is asking people what it is that they are going to do to bring this implementation and make it possible.'
