BRICS backs ceasefire
BRICS leaders adopted a New Delhi Declaration at the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, India, on September 12-13, and the Palestinian Foreign Ministry welcomed it on Saturday as supporting “the Palestinian cause,” including rejection of attempts to forcibly displace Palestinians from their land, “including Jerusalem.”
“including Jerusalem”
The declaration also called for an end to Israeli occupation, commitment to the two-state solution, support for the state of Palestine’s full UN membership, and support for UNRWA and its mandate, while urging “the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.”
A final BRICS leaders’ declaration at the conclusion of the summit expressed opposition to the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and the occupied West Bank and called for respect for UN Security Council resolutions concerning Gaza.
It urged “the preservation of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the full and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid,” and expressed concern about continued violence in the region despite the ceasefire reached last October.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said implementing the BRICS positions requires ending the Israeli occupation and enabling Palestinians to exercise their inalienable rights, including the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Ceasefire and two-state
In a statement carried by TRT World, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry welcomed the BRICS New Delhi Declaration and its “positions and affirmations supporting the Palestinian cause,” including rejection of attempts to forcibly displace Palestinians from their land, “including occupied East Jerusalem.”
TRT World also reported that the BRICS leaders’ joint summit declaration called for respect for UN Security Council resolutions concerning Gaza and said, “We call on all parties to ensure the preservation of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the full and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid.”
The same TRT World account said the declaration expressed concern about Israel’s continued violence in the region in violation of the ceasefire reached last October and called for “an end to any policies aimed at the forced displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.”
The declaration reaffirmed support for the State of Palestine obtaining full membership in the United Nations and backed a two-state solution, while the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said the positions were consistent with international law and relevant UN resolutions.
TRT World further framed the BRICS bloc as expanding to 11 countries since 2024, listing Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, plus Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Palestinian rights and UNRWA
Beyond the Palestinian Foreign Ministry’s welcome, BRICS leaders’ New Delhi Declaration—described by SANA—reaffirmed that a just and lasting settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict must be achieved peacefully and uphold Palestinian legitimate rights, including self-determination and return.
“the full and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid”
SANA reported that the declaration backed a two-state solution based on international law and relevant UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions, and called for establishing a sovereign, independent and viable Palestinian state along the internationally recognized 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
On Gaza, the leaders referred to UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and urged all parties to maintain the ceasefire reached in October 2025 and ensure “the full and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid,” while voicing grave concern over continued attacks despite the ceasefire agreement.
SANA also said the declaration rejected forced displacement of Palestinians from occupied Palestinian territory under any pretext and opposed arrangements that could undermine Palestinian rights or legitimize or prolong occupation.
The declaration renewed support for UNRWA and called for full respect for its UN-mandated role in providing essential services to Palestinian refugees across its five fields of operation.
