DUBAI: Saudi Arabia and seven other Arab and Muslim countries on Thursday condemned what they described as ongoing Israeli violations in the Gaza Strip, including attacks on healthcare facilities, civilian infrastructure and the continued loss of civilian lives. In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt and Turkiye said the actions represented “grave violations” of international law and international humanitarian law.

They say the attacks and resulting civilian casualties violate international law and are threatening implementation of the ceasefire's second phase.

Foreign ministers from UAE, Saudi Arabia and allies denounce Israeli attacks on Gaza medical facilities and call for enforcement of ceasefire efforts.
