Rabat – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the Arab League, and several Arab states have unequivocally condemned the recent deadly Israeli airstrike on the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Secretary-General of the Arab League issued a strong condemnation, labeling the attack as a “new crime” in Gaza. The airstrike resulted in at least 400 Palestinians killed or wounded according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Numerous Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, and Yemen, similarly decried this latest indiscriminate bombing of Palestinian civilians by the Israeli military.
Following their condemnation of the attack, the United Arab Emirates’ foreign ministry warned that “the continuation of the senseless bombing will lead the region to repercussions that are difficult to remedy” and highlighted “the necessity of an immediate cease-fire to prevent bloodshed.”
In a statement, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its condemnation “in the strongest terms” for the inhumane targeting by the Israeli occupation forces of the Jabalia camp. It emphasized that “preventing bloodshed, protecting civilians, and stopping military operations are urgent priorities that cannot be accepted for any procrastination or obstruction.” The Saudi ministry added that “failure to immediately adhere to them will inevitably lead to a humanitarian catastrophe for which the Israeli occupation and the international community bear responsibility.”
The Qatari Foreign Ministry described the attack as “a new massacre against the defenseless Palestinian people” and called on the international community to take swift action to halt the killing and destruction.
The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while holding Israel accountable as “the occupying power responsible for this dangerous development,” urged the international community “to assume its responsibility, deter Israel from committing more crimes against civilians, and stop its senseless war on the Gaza Strip.”
In a statement, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation also condemned: “in the strongest terms the continuation of Israeli massacres and war crimes, the most recent of which was the Jabalia camp massacre” before calling on “the international community to intervene urgently in order to stop this aggression”.
This attack follows a series of deadly Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians over the past three weeks of conflict, resulting in over 8,796 Palestinians killed, according to the latest estimates.
