It called for an immediate end to Israel’s ongoing genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the killing at least 35,272 Palestinians and injuring over 79,205 others, and “strongly condemn Israel's obstruction of ceasefire efforts in the Gaza Strip and its continued military escalation through the expansion of its aggression against the Palestinian city of Rafah, despite international warnings of catastrophic humanitarian consequences.”
“We stress the need to stop the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip immediately, withdraw the Israeli occupation forces from all areas of the Strip [and] lift the siege imposed on it,” the statement said.
