The New York Declaration "spearheaded by France and Saudi Arabia, was signed by the Arab League, the EU, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Norway and Senegal."
Malaysia is a glaring exception, given Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim outlining plans to help rebuild Gaza in January 2025. He did so despite protests from his own people.
Anwar Ibrahim has however made clear that he will never abandon HAMAS and its leaders. Malaysia, and Pakistan, are the likely bases of operation in exile.

Times Of Israel and others have reported:
Arab and Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, signed a declaration Tuesday condemning for the first time Hamas’s onslaught of October 7, 2023, and calling on the Palestinian terror group to release all the hostages it is holding, disarm and end its rule of Gaza, in a bid to end the devastating war in the Strip.
Israel PM Netanyahu is reported to have also proposed sending HAMAS into exile.
While there has been cosiderable excitement about the proposal history seems to have been forgotten for it was the Saudis sending Osama Bin Laden that led to his reign of terror that led to 9-11. There is nothing in the Arab proposal about seizing HAMAS assets, or the assets of its billionaire leaders, or their heirs. Surrendering arms that probably need replacing may not matter much. It is likely that assets have already been relocated to Malaysia, where Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has made clear that he will never abandon HAMAS and its leaders. Malaysia, and Pakistan, are the likely bases of operation in exile.
