  • GCC says the international community must act to stop Israel’ systematic crimes against Palestinians

DUBAI: The Gulf Cooperation Council has condemned in the strongest terms that Israeli attack on the Nuseirat Camp in Central Gaza, which left at least 200 people killed and wounded many others. 

The GCC said the international community must act to stop Israel’s repeated and systematic crimes against the Palestinians.

It called the attack on Nuseirat “a heinous and terrorist crime.” 

The attack killed over 200 Palestinians and injured numerous civilians, accroding to Gaza's health ministry, most of whom were women and children.

Meanwhile, the GCC council held a ministerial meeting Sunday in Doha that was also attended by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan. 

During the meeting, the GCC ministers agreed that the war in Gaza must end and that it was important to “deal seriously and positively” with a proposal presented by US President Joe Biden that would lead to a ceasefire in Gaza.

Earlier, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has condemned an Israeli bombing of a school in Gaza affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which was sheltering displaced persons.
