In a joint statement released on Sunday, the ministers warned that the violations risk escalating tensions and undermining efforts to consolidate calm and restore stability.
Since the announcement of the Gaza ceasefire in October 2025, Israel has killed and injured over 1,000 Palestinians.
The statement noted that the Israeli violations come at a time when regional and international actors are working to advance the second phase of President Donald Trump’s peace plan and to implement UN Security Council Resolution 2803.
They said the repeated breaches pose a direct threat to the political process and obstruct efforts to create the conditions needed to move Gaza towards a more stable phase, both in security and humanitarian terms.
The ministers stressed the need for full commitment to ensuring the success of the plan’s second phase, the statement noted.
The statement also urged all parties to uphold their responsibilities during what it described as a critical period, to exercise maximum restraint, and to refrain from actions that could undermine the ceasefire.
It called for conditions to be created for early recovery and reconstruction, and for progress towards a just and lasting peace based on the Palestinian right to self-determination and statehood, in line with international law, relevant UN resolutions, and the Arab Peace Initiative.
The joint statement comes 24 hours after Israeli strikes killed at least 30 Palestinians, half of them children, one of the highest tolls since an October agreement aimed at stopping the genocidal war on Gaza.
The strikes happened one day ahead of the planned opening of the Rafah crossing, Gaza's border point with Egypt.
All of the territory’s border crossings have been closed throughout almost the entire war. Palestinians see Rafah as a lifeline for the tens of thousands in need of treatment outside the territory, where the majority of medical infrastructure has been destroyed.
Despite repeated calls for de-escalation, Israel’s airstrikes have inflicted widespread destruction, particularly on residential neighbourhoods and vital infrastructure.
Gaza’s civilian population, already reeling from years of siege and blockade and a two-year genocidal war, is once again facing the horrors of indiscriminate military attacks.
Hospitals in Gaza have been overwhelmed, and medical supplies are running dangerously low.
Since the outbreak of Israel's genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, its forces have killed at least 71,769 Palestinians and injured at least 171,483 others, most of them women and children.
