Mr. Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, welcomed a statement issued by 28 countries, including key European countries such as Britain and France, calling for an immediate end to the war on Gaza. The statement noted that "the suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new levels of depth," and clearly condemned "the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, while trying to meet their basic needs of water and food."
Jamal Rushdi, the Secretary-General's official spokesman, quoted Aboul Gheit as saying that the statement represents a global consensus rejecting the continuation of Israel's ethnic cleansing scheme, which has reached unprecedented levels of dehumanization and depravity. What is required is to turn actions into words and exert real pressure on the occupying state to halt the daily massacre of Palestinians in Gaza. The number of victims outside aid distribution centers has exceeded 800, killed in cold blood while waiting to receive the minimum basic necessities needed to sustain their lives. The official spokesperson emphasized that Israel is acting with all cruelty to implement its plan for forced displacement, through daily killing of Palestinians and making their continued presence in the Gaza Strip impossible through starvation, deprivation of basic necessities, issuing evacuation orders, and preventing the entry of aid.
He added: "The world is called upon to take effective action to end this ongoing massacre and put an end to the occupying state's flagrant, shameful, and unprecedented defiance of the principles of international humanitarian law, which disregards even the most basic humanitarian norms."
