  HE GCCSG: The International Community must Take Firm Stance against the Israeli Occupation Forces to Stop their Serious and Systematic Violations against the Palestinian People

General Secretariat - Riyadh

His Excellency Mr Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), expressed his condemnation and denunciation of the Israeli occupation forces' bombing of a school belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Al Nuseirat camp, which resulted in the deaths of dozens of innocents, including six UNRWA employees, and injured many others.

His Excellency stated that the international community must take a strong position against the Israeli occupation forces to stop the ongoing systematic violations against the Palestinian people, which have claimed the lives of tens of thousands of innocent civilians. 

He emphasised that the targeting of relief and UN staff by the Israeli occupation forces is a new crime added to the many repeated war crimes committed by the occupation forces in Gaza, which have resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocents.

His Excellency also reaffirmed the statement made in the 161st ministerial meeting held on Monday, September 9, 2024, rejecting any justifications for describing the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip as self-defense. 

He called on the international community to take necessary actions, within international law, to respond to the illegal practices of the Israeli government and the policy of collective punishment it pursues against the besieged residents of Gaza and the entire Palestinian people.
