A spokesperson for Netanyahu did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the joint statement.
Netanyahu’s Likud party, which has been struggling in the polls ahead of an Oct 27 national election, said in a post on X that the Arab countries want to topple Netanyahu so that his political rivals will “give them everything that they want”.
Hamas on Sunday called on mediators and the Board of Peace, which was set up as part of Trump’s peace plan, to compel Israel to meet its obligations of the plan’s first phase, end its violations of the ceasefire agreement, and approve the roadmap for the second phase of the plan, according to a statement from the group.

Four Israeli soldiers were killed by militants in Gaza over the same period, according to Israeli figures.
