Oman denounces Israel’s ongoing aggression on Gaza, targeting of civilians

Muscat: The Sultanate of Oman has voiced its strong condemnation and denunciation of the ongoing aggression launched by the Israeli occupation forces against the Gaza Strip, the latest of which was the deliberate targeting of medical, relief and media personnel at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis—in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.

In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry today, the Sultanate of Oman reiterated its call on the international community—notably the Security Council—to undertake decisive action for ensuring the protection of civilians, halting these grave violations and upholding principles of the international law.

The Sultanate of Oman affirmed that justice for the Palestinian people can only be realized by terminating the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and enabling the Palestinian people to attain their legitimate rights. It pointed out that the most prominent of these rights is the establishment of a Palestinian state, with Al Quds A’Sharqiyah (East Jerusalem) as its capital, based on resolutions of international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative.
