LONDON: Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned Israel’s airstrike on the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the death of at least 50 people and left more than 100 civilians injured. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement expressing the Kingdom’s total rejection of Israel’s relentless and inhumane targeting of densely populated civilian areas, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The statement also denounced Israel’s consistent violation of international humanitarian law. The Kingdom highlighted the international community’s failure to exert pressure on Israel to agree to a ceasefire, in line with the UN’s General Assembly resolution passed last Friday with an overwhelming majority. Saudi Arabia added that the dire humanitarian situation, stemming from the ongoing escalation of violence in Gaza, was inexcusable. It stressed the pressing need to halt bloodshed, ensure the safety of civilians, and cease military operations without any further delay or obstruction. The Kingdom warned that any failure to promptly adhere to these measures would inevitably lead to a humanitarian disaster, and both the Israeli occupation and the international community would be held accountable.
