During his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Saturday, Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi issued a formal appeal for de-escalation in the ongoing Middle East conflict. Al-Busaidi urged all involved parties to move away from military confrontation and toward a policy of "restraint and anticipation."

The foreign minister emphasized that the path to stability lies in dialogue rather than continued hostilities. He advocated for the pursuit of consensual political solutions, suggesting that such an approach is necessary to secure a lasting agreement that benefits all stakeholders in the region. Furthermore, al-Busaidi explicitly stated that Oman is ready to offer its services as a mediator to help resolve the remaining differences between the parties involved.

While the statement reflects Oman’s long-standing diplomatic stance of neutrality and its history of acting as a regional bridge-builder, the report provides limited context regarding which specific parties or conflicts the minister was addressing. The call for "consensual political solutions" highlights Oman's preference for diplomatic negotiation over military force, though the report does not detail how these parties might respond to such an offer or what specific mediation framework Oman envisions.
