RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has condemned the Israeli occupation forces’ incursions into the Gaza Strip and their ongoing crimes against the Palestinian people.

This condemnation comes amid the international community’s failure to take effective measures to end this criminal approach, which violates international law and international humanitarian law.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry, in a statement on Wednesday, warned of the grave dangers posed by the continued brutal Israeli campaign against the Gaza Strip and its civilian population.

The Kingdom called on the permanent members of the UN Security Council to take immediate and decisive action to stop the ongoing killing, starvation, and displacement of the Palestinian people.

It also urged the resolute implementation of all relevant international resolutions against the occupying forces, emphasising the need to protect innocent lives in the Gaza Strip and to bring about an immediate end to all forms of genocide and forced displacement.

Meanwhile, Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned the Israeli ground operation “in the strongest terms,” calling it an extension of the war against the Palestinian people and a “blatant violation of international law.”

It warned that Israel’s actions undermine prospects for peace through policies of “settlement, aggression and racism,” and urged decisive international action to ensure compliance with international resolutions.

Qatar reiterated its support for the Palestinian cause and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
