- The Kingdom called for an end to the “genocide” taking place in Gaza
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has condemned Israeli strike on a Gaza school sheltering displaced people that killed around 100 people on Saturday.
In a foreign ministry statement, the Kingdom called for an end to the “genocide” taking place in Gaza where Israeli violations to the international humanitarian law are bringing an “unprecedented humanitarian disaster.”
Saudi Arabia has also denounced the international community’s failure to hold Israel accountable for its violations.
An independent UN-appointed expert accused Israel of committing “genocide” in its Gaza war after the strike.
“Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one safe zone at the time,” Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the rights situation in Palestinian territories, said on social media platform X.
Israel claimed that around 20 Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants were operating from the school.
Saturday’s attack brings to at least 14 the number of schools struck in Gaza since July 6.
