Palestine condemns ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza Strip

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned what it described as an Israeli crime against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, after Israeli airstrikes early today killed five Palestinians, including four women, and injured others when a residential apartment was targeted. The ministry said this attack is part of ongoing acts of genocide and war crimes against the Palestinian people.

The ministry stressed that this aggression, along with Israel's continued refusal to agree to a ceasefire, implement the plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, and abide by UN Security Council Resolution 2803, as well as its rejection of aid entry despite widespread hunger and suffering, demonstrates Israel's intent to commit genocide and forcibly displace the Palestinian people.

The ministry called on the international community to activate mechanisms for accountability, end all forms of impunity, and ensure the protection of Palestinian civilians. It also urged a comprehensive and sustainable end to the aggression, a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid, and the creation of conditions necessary for recovery and reconstruction. The statement concluded by calling for an end to Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian territory, guaranteeing Palestinian independence and sovereignty, and upholding the Palestinian people's right to self-determination.
