Capitals, August 25 (QNA) - Arab and Western countries, as well as international and regional organizations, condemned today the Israeli raids that targeted Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, killing at least 20 people, including five journalists.
The countries and organizations considered the Israeli raids on the medical complex a flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, and a blatant challenge to international legitimacy resolutions.
In this context, the State of Qatar condemned the Israeli occupation's bombing of Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, which resulted in the deaths of innocent, defenseless civilians. It considered it a new episode in the ongoing series of heinous crimes committed by the occupation against the brotherly Palestinian people, and a flagrant violation of international law.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed, in a statement, that the occupation's targeting of journalists and relief and medical workers requires urgent and decisive international action to provide the necessary protection for civilians and ensure that the perpetrators of these atrocities do not escape punishment.
The Ministry also reiterated the urgent need for global solidarity to end the brutal genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, address the catastrophic humanitarian conditions there, and move forward towards achieving a just and sustainable peace in the region, guaranteeing the establishment of an independent and fully sovereign Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
For its part, the Gulf Cooperation Council condemned, in the strongest terms, the heinous crime committed by the occupation forces, targeting medical, relief, and media personnel inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip.
In a statement, GCC Secretary-General Jassim Mohammed Al-Budaiwi said, "This criminal act represents a flagrant violation of all international and humanitarian laws and a blatant challenge to international legitimacy resolutions that protect civilian facilities and humanitarian and media personnel. It reveals a systematic policy by the occupying forces to commit crimes against the Palestinian people without any regard for humanitarian values or international conventions."
The GCC Secretary-General reiterated his call for the international community to take immediate and decisive action to halt these repeated attacks, hold their perpetrators accountable, and provide urgent international protection for humanitarian, relief, and media personnel in the Gaza Strip.
He also called for intensified international efforts to deliver medical, humanitarian, and relief aid to the Gaza Strip urgently and without restrictions or conditions, and to put an end to the ongoing Israeli violations that have exacerbated the humanitarian tragedy of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and threatened security and stability in the region.
For its part, the Arab League condemned in the strongest terms the ongoing Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip, including the massacre committed by the occupation forces at the Nasser Medical Complex, which resulted in the deaths of 20 people, including five journalists.
In a statement, the Arab League noted that this massacre is merely one episode in a continuing series of massacres deliberately targeting civilians, noting that the Israeli entity has assassinated more than 12 journalists in the past two weeks alone, while the death toll among journalists has reached hundreds since the beginning of the war.
It stated that the Israeli entity seeks to conceal the atrocities taking place in Gaza and silence any voice that conveys the truth, calling on the international community to break the shameful global silence on the unprecedented cold-blooded crimes taking place every day, with no punishment or even a voice of dissent saying, "Enough with this ongoing slaughter."
The Arab League noted that the world's failure to do anything means accepting the daily deaths of dozens of innocent people in Gaza as a normal occurrence, which is a major crime. It noted that free consciences revolt at the scenes of starvation devouring the bodies of children.
For its part, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its condemnation of the Israeli occupation forces' targeting of medical, relief, and media personnel at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis.
In a statement, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized the Kingdom's rejection of Israel's ongoing violations of international laws and norms, reiterating its call for the international community to put an end to these Israeli crimes and emphasizing the need to provide protection for medical, relief, and media workers.
The State of Kuwait also expressed its strong condemnation and denunciation of the Israeli occupation forces' targeting of medical, relief, and media personnel at the Nasser Medical Complex, in a blatant and flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law.
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that while Kuwait warns against the Israeli occupation's continued systematic crimes against the defenseless Palestinian people without deterrence or accountability, it stresses the need for the international community and the Security Council to assume their legal and moral responsibilities to halt the genocide being perpetrated against the Palestinian people and ensure that perpetrators of crimes in occupied Palestine do not escape impunity.
The Kingdom of Jordan also condemned the Israeli occupation forces' bombing of the Nasser Medical Complex in the southern Gaza Strip, describing it as a flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, and a flagrant violation of the 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.
The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed Jordan's absolute rejection and strong condemnation of the Israeli entity's continued aggression against the Gaza Strip, its systematic targeting of civilians, hospitals, journalists, medical personnel, and civilian objects in the Strip, its destruction of vital facilities that provide essential services to the Gazans, and its continued use of blockade and starvation as weapons to push Palestinians toward forced displacement.
The Ministry warned of the consequences of the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza and ongoing violations in the occupied West Bank, which are leading to further cycles of violence and conflict, negatively impacting the security and stability of the entire region.
