Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned and denounced the Israeli occupation forces’ bombing of the Al-Fakhoura School of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Gaza Strip.
The Kingdom’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a published statement, reiterated Saudi Arabia’s absolute rejection of the deliberate targeting of civilians.
The statement also emphasized Saudi Arabia’s call for an immediate ceasefire, with a focus on ensuring the protection of civilians and relief facilities, along with those providing assistance in the affected areas.
Saudi Arabia underscored the necessity of activating international accountability mechanisms to address ongoing Israeli violations of international humanitarian law and resolutions of international legitimacy.
10 Million Iranians Show Readiness To Face Off Israel Amid Relentless Gaza Bombing
Meanwhile, just days after Israel launched its devastating attacks on the blockaded Gaza Strip, Iranian youth rallied to show unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian cause in a more pronounced way.
A campaign called “You are dealing with me” has drawn in over 10 million participants, pledging direct confrontation with Israeli forces in occupied territories in support of Palestinians. Registration is ongoing, with numbers swelling continuously.
This fervor isn’t confined to Iranians alone in West Asia. Recently, hundreds of Iraqi protestors gathered at Iraq’s main border crossing with Jordan, seeking entry into the occupied territories to stand against Israel.
The toll of Israel’s aggression is staggering: over 13,000 Palestinians were killed, with more than 2.3 million people deprived of basic necessities like water, food, and fuel. Shockingly, over 70% of the victims are women and children. The regime’s attacks spare no place—hospitals, schools, refugee camps—all bear the brunt of this unrelenting assault.
Amidst this unfolding tragedy, millions in the region grapple with a sense of helplessness, disturbed by the ongoing massacres in Gaza. The knowledge that innocent civilians, especially women and children, endure such brutality haunts them, especially when international bodies and regional powers appear indifferent.
The empathy for Palestine transcends West Asia; it’s now a global sentiment. Despite Western leaders siding staunchly with Israel, a divide widens between politicians and their people.
Citizens in the West, compelled to fund Israel’s actions through taxes, recoil in horror at the harrowing plight of Palestinians. Images from Gaza flood social media, stirring a visceral response worldwide. Scenes of a mother cradling her lifeless child or children amidst rubble and bloodshed prompt massive protests from London to New York.
