According to a statement from the Saudi Foreign Ministry released on November 12, the agreement was signed in the presence of Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and representatives from various Arab and Islamic nations.

The purpose of the mechanism is to "intensify joint efforts among the three organizations and enhance collaborative work regarding the Palestinian issue," the statement noted.
