Saudi Arabia condemned in the “strongest possible way“ The Israeli ground operation in Gaza, a day after Israel launched its long-threatened assault on the Palestinian enclave, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
The kingdom also called on members of the UN Security Council to intervene to stop the “killings, starvation and forced displacement of Palestinians caused by Israel“, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said.
A wave of criticism from Middle Eastern countries followed the start of the Israeli ground attack to take control of the main urban center in the Gaza Strip. Qatar, which is playing the role of host and mediator in the ceasefire talks, joined them. Doha described the attack as “a continuation of Israel's war of genocide“.
