They reiterated their previous statement warning against the commission of genocide and their recommendations:

1. 1- Allow unimpeded delivery of desperately needed humanitarian aid to the people in Gaza, including reproductive health supplies;
2. 2- Ensure the immediate, unconditional, safe and secure release of the hostages taken by Hamas;
3. 3- Ensure that all Palestinians arbitrarily detained by Israel are released immediately;
4. 4- Ensure that all persons, including women and girls, are protected from gender-based violence, including sexual assault and abuse. Allegations of such crimes must be fully and independently investigated;
5. 5- Ensure that pregnant women have access to adequate health care;
6. 6- Open humanitarian corridors toward the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Israel, especially for those that have been most affected by this war, the sick and wounded, persons with disabilities, older persons, pregnant women and children;
7. 7- Collaboration of all parties with the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, and the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on the investigation opened in March 2021, as well as crimes arising from the recent events, underlining that the crimes committed today are partly due to a lack of deterrence and continued impunity;
8. 8- Implement an arms embargo on all warring parties; and
9. 9- Address the underlying causes of the conflict by ending the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territory and fulfilling the Palestinian right of self-determination.
