Riyadh:The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has condemned the continued violations by Israeli occupation forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including the recent shelling of the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis.
According to Palestine news & Information Agency, GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi stated that attacks on hospitals and healthcare facilities are serious violations of international humanitarian law. He highlighted the dangers posed to patients, the wounded, and medical personnel, emphasizing that such actions exacerbate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
The Secretary-General called for firm international action to end these violations and ensure accountability. He urged the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to take effective measures to halt Israeli attacks, protect civilians, and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid and medical supplies throughout the Strip. Furthermore, he stressed the importance of enabling relief agencies to operate safely.
Albudaiwi reiterated the GCC's support for the Palestinian people and their rights, including the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
