The final statement from the 159th meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council Ministerial urged an immediate ceasefire and the halt of Israeli military operations, as well as ensuring the provision and access of all humanitarian and relief aid to the Gaza Strip. The statement, issued on Sunday evening, condemned the Israeli aggression on Gaza and reaffirmed support for the Palestinian people.
The statement expressed rejection of any justifications or excuses for the continuation of Israeli aggression on Gaza, calling on the international community to take necessary actions in response to the practices of the Israeli government and the policy of collective punishment being imposed on civilians. It emphasized the urgent need to take immediate steps to allow for the broad and safe delivery of humanitarian aid without obstacles, and to create the necessary conditions for a sustainable ceasefire.
Israel was held legally responsible before the international community for its ongoing violations and attacks that have targeted innocent civilians, resulting in the deaths of thousands in the Gaza Strip.
