Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Palestinian Authority join chorus of condemnation of new IDF strikes

Gaza war mediator Qatar strongly condemns Israel’s resumed bombing campaign in Gaza.

Qatar’s foreign ministry “warns that [Israel’s] escalating policies will ultimately ignite the region and undermine its security and stability,” it says in a statement.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas calls on the international community to “compel” Israel to end its “aggression.”

Abbas’s spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh condemns the strikes in a statement and calls on “the international community to compel the occupation to stop its aggression against our people everywhere in the Gaza Strip,” while Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa issues a similar call during a PA cabinet meeting.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry also joins in, denouncing the renewed escalation “in the strongest terms” and calling on the international community to step in to stop what it describes as crimes against the Palestinians.
