BRICS Leaders Reject Forced Displacement of Palestinians from Gaza


(MENAFN) BRICS leaders call for stronger international efforts to prevent conflicts and pursue peaceful solutions to ongoing wars, while rejecting any forced displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

The positions are set out in the New Delhi Declaration, which BRICS members unanimously adopt on the opening day of their two-day summit in the Indian capital.

The leaders express "deep concern" over the continued violence in Gaza despite the October 2025 ceasefire and demand an end to "any policies aimed at forced displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip."

The declaration also voices "concern regarding arrangements that may prejudice the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and legitimize or prolong occupation."

"We reaffirm that a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can only be achieved by peaceful means and depends on the fulfilment of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including the rights to self-determination and return," it said.

BRICS leaders further reject "any unilateral measures that seek to alter the legal and historical status of occupied Jerusalem."
