- 萝莉视频 reiterates its categorical rejection of Israel's continued targeting of civilians trying to receive aid
RIYADH: The Saudi Foreign Ministry on Tuesday welcomed a joint statement by 28 countries stating the war in Gaza 鈥榤ust end now.鈥�
鈥淲e reiterate our categorical rejection of the practices of the Israeli occupation authorities and their inhumane methodology of blocking aid and targeting civilians seeking it,鈥� the statement said.
The foreign ministers of 28 countries, including the UK, Australia and Canada, said 鈥渢he suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths.鈥�
They condemned 鈥渢he drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food.鈥�
The statement described as 鈥渉orrifying鈥� the recent deaths of over 800 Palestinians who were seeking aid, according to the figures released by Gaza鈥檚 Health Ministry and the UN human rights office.
鈥淭he Israeli government鈥檚 aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity,鈥� the countries said. 鈥淭he Israeli government鈥檚 denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law.鈥�
Israel鈥檚 Foreign Ministry rejected the statement, saying it was 鈥渄isconnected from reality and sends the wrong message to Hamas.鈥� It accused Hamas of prolonging the war by refusing to accept an Israeli-backed proposal for a temporary ceasefire and hostage release.
