Moreover, the Ministry reiterated its calls on the international community, the United Nations, and the UN Security Council to fulfil their responsibilities to end illegal practices in contravention of international law.
The Ministry underscored the importance of preventing the expansion of the scale of conflict in the region, highlighting that the priority following the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip must focus on eliminating extremism, tensions, violence, and providing protection for all civilians, as well as facilitating the urgent, safe, and sustainable delivery of humanitarian aid to the strip.
