RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry condemned and denounced on Tuesday Israel’s continued escalation in occupied Palestinian territories and its latest aggression against the city of Jenin.
Thousands of people were evacuated from the Jenin refugee camp as one of Israel’s biggest West Bank military operations in years continued for a second day on Tuesday.
The ministry also confirmed the Kingdom’s total rejection of the serious violations committed by Israeli forces, expressing sincere condolences to the families of the victims and to the government and people of Palestine. It also wished the injured a speedy recovery.
The Israeli military operation was launched with a drone strike in the early hours of Monday, and over 1,000 troops have been deployed. At least 10 people have been killed, Palestinian officials said.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation also expressed its strong condemnation of the crimes committed by Israeli forces against unarmed civilians, medical personnel, and health centers in the city of Jenin and the refugee camp situated in it.
The OIC said it considered “this heinous crime as an extension of the record of crimes and organized state terrorism practiced by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.”
The OIC called on the UN Security Council to “assume its responsibility, enforce its relevant resolutions, put an end to this continued Israeli terrorism, and provide protection for the Palestinian people.”
