Ahmed Attaf, the Algerian Foreign Minister, warned on Thursday that the ongoing crisis in Gaza is threatening the international order.
In a speech to the Palestine Committee of the Non-Aligned Movement in Kampala, Uganda, Attaf said that the conflict is not just about the Palestinian issue, but about the very principles and values on which the international order is based.
"The Israeli occupation has reached new heights of barbarity and savagery," Attaf said. "It has committed the most horrific crimes in a war that has now entered its fourth month.
The death toll is unprecedented, and the destruction and displacement are devastating."
Attaf said that the Israeli occupation is trying to "eliminate as many Palestinians as possible," and to "liquidate the Palestinian cause altogether."
He also warned that the conflict could escalate and spread to other parts of the region.
Attaf called for an immediate end to the war, the prosecution of Israeli war crimes, and the full participation of Palestinians in any peace process.
He also called for the establishment of a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Attaf's comments were echoed by other speakers at the Palestine Committee meeting.
The committee called for the international community to take action to end the crisis and to protect the Palestinian people.
The Gaza crisis is a major challenge to the international order.
It is a reminder that the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is not just a local issue, but a global one.
The outcome of the crisis will have a profound impact on the stability of the region and the world.
