General Secretariat - Riyadh

His Excellency Mr Jassem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), expressed his condemnation and denunciation in the strongest terms of the Israeli criminal act of bombing the Jaouni school which belongs to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in the Nuseirat camp, targeting innocent displaced people. 

His Excellency stressed that the brutal and ongoing attacks by the Israeli occupation forces against Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the rest of the Palestinian territories, and their direct targeting of refugee camps for the displaced people, constitute a flagrant violation of international laws and humanitarian treaties, and are war crimes that confirm the serious criminal approach of the Israeli occupation forces without any regard for legal, moral and humanitarian values.

Moreover, His Excellency called on the international community, with all its states and organisations, to take immediate and serious action to implement a ceasefire immediately, stop the dangerous Israeli military operations, and hold those responsible for these violations accountable.

Furthermore, His Excellency underlined the firm position of the GCC states in supporting the just Palestinian cause and making all efforts to protect the Palestinian people from the brutality and criminal behaviour of the Israeli occupation forces.​
