Palestinian Authority Condemns ‘Bloody Assaults’ in Gaza, Warns of Escalation
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has strongly condemned what it described as the ongoing ‘bloody assaults’ perpetrated by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. In a statement released Saturday, the ministry asserted that these attacks represent a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and agreements designed to protect civilians during times of conflict.
The ministry emphasized that the continuation of military operations, despite the existing ceasefire agreement, constitutes a dangerous escalation. This escalation, according to the statement, threatens to undermine the fragile atmosphere of de-escalation and demonstrates a deliberate attempt to sabotage regional and international efforts aimed at halting the bloodshed.
International Community Urged to Act
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry urgently called upon the international community to take immediate action to halt what it termed ‘systematic crimes’ being committed against the residents of Gaza. The ministry implored nations and international organizations to fulfill their legal and moral obligations to protect civilians and enforce adherence to the ceasefire agreement.
The statement concluded by affirming that the Palestinian people ‘will not relinquish their right to live in safety and dignity.’ The ministry further demanded the activation of international accountability mechanisms to ensure that such violations are not repeated.
The ongoing situation in Gaza remains a source of significant concern, with these recent developments potentially jeopardizing the already precarious stability in the region.
