Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jassem Mohamed Al-Budaiwi expressed on Monday strong condemnation of the continued Israeli violations against the Palestinian people, the latest of which was the attack on the Jenin camp.

Al-Budaiwi said the Israeli forces' attack on the Jenin camp are a flagrant violation of international conventions and laws and hamper efforts to launch a peace process to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

He stressed the need for immediate international intervention to end the brutal Israeli attacks and repression.

Moreover, he reiterated his call on the international community to intervene urgently and swiftly to revive efforts to allow the Palestinian people to gain their legitimate right to establish their state within the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
