Oman leads diplomatic push to de-escalate regional tensions

Muscat: On Sunday, the Sultanate of Oman initiated a series of diplomatic engagements aimed at de-escalating heightened regional tensions. These tensions stem from Israel’s recent military strikes on Iranian territory and its ongoing offensive in Gaza.

In a significant move, His Excellency Sayyid Badr Al Busaidi, Oman's Foreign Minister, hosted a high-level meeting in Muscat with his German counterpart during the latter’s official visit. Their discussions centered on the escalating regional crisis, specifically addressing Israel’s attacks on crucial Iranian infrastructure, which have reportedly caused numerous casualties, alongside the persistent violence and devastation in Gaza.

Both ministers emphasized the urgent need to uphold international law, end violations of national sovereignty, and reignite support for a two-state solution. The discussions highlighted the importance of broadening international recognition of the Palestinian state and reinforcing diplomatic pathways as the only viable route to regional stability.

In parallel, Al-Busaidi conducted a series of intensive phone calls with foreign ministers from allied and friendly nations, pressing for coordinated legal and political action to halt Israel's operations. These efforts reflect Oman’s unwavering stance in support of peace, justice, and international law.

Oman's proactive diplomacy underscores its long-standing commitment to conflict resolution through rational dialogue and multilateral cooperation, aiming to safeguard regional peace, global stability, and shared prosperity.
