Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Attacks on UNRWA-Run Schools in Gaza
In a strong statement, Saudi Arabia has denounced Israel’s recent airstrikes on the UNRWA-run Al-Razi School in Nuseirat camp and Al-Attar area in Khan Yunis, describing them as “a series of repeated violations by the Israeli war machine against defenseless civilians.”
The Israeli airstrikes, which occurred overnight and into Tuesday, resulted in the deaths of more than 60 Palestinians in southern and central Gaza. One particularly devastating strike targeted an Israeli-declared “safe zone” where thousands of displaced people had sought refuge.
The deadliest strike on Tuesday hit a main street in Muwasi, near Khan Younis, where market stalls were lined up. The area, packed with tent camps, saw 17 people killed, according to officials at Khan Younis’ Nasser Hospital.
Saudi Arabia has once again called for an immediate ceasefire and the protection of civilians, relief facilities, and aid workers. The Kingdom holds the Israeli occupation forces accountable for their continuous violation of international and humanitarian laws.
Furthermore, Saudi Arabia emphasized the international community’s legal, humanitarian, and moral responsibility to end these violations of international law and resolutions. The failure to do so not only exposes the weakness of international institutions but also poses a threat to international security and stability.
