Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi expressed his strong condemnation of the brutal shelling by the Israeli occupation forces of Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, Palestine, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of hundreds of innocent civilians.
He said that targeting the hospital is glaring evidence of the serious violations by the Israeli occupation forces that do not recognize international conventions, treaties, and laws, adding that it is also proof of the recklessness of their practices, reported SPA on Wednesday.
He affirmed the firm positions of the GCC countries rejecting the repeated and serious Israeli violations, calling on the international community to assume its responsibilities and duties to stop the acts of the Israeli occupation forces.

The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the joint statement issued by the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia and various other foreign ministers condemning Israel’s unlawful decisions regarding the West Bank.

On Monday, the ‌foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Brazil, France, Spain, Türkiye, Egypt, Qatar, as well as heads of the Arab League and Organization of Islamic Cooperation condemned the Israeli decisions that they said introduce sweeping extensions to unlawful Israeli control over the West Bank.

MWL Secretary-General Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa, cautioned against the grave consequences of Israel’s continued violations of international law, international humanitarian law, and established norms and conventions.

He praised the foreign minister’s strong commitment to taking practical steps, consistent with international law, to counter the expansion of unlawful settlements in the Palestinian territories. He also emphasized the need to address the policies of forced displacement, annexation, and the threats they pose.

Dr. Al-Issa urged the international community to take action to end Israel’s violations in the occupied Palestinian territories and to implement relevant resolutions, including those of the United Nations Security Council and the New York Declaration, regarding the Palestinian people’s established historic right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state.

Israel's cabinet on February 15 approved further ⁠measures to tighten Israel's control ‌over the occupied ‌West Bank and make it easier for ‌settlers to buy land, a move ‌Palestinians called a "de-facto annexation".

The West Bank is among the territories that Palestinians seek for a future independent state. Much ‌of it is under Israeli military control, with limited Palestinian self-rule ⁠in ⁠some areas run by the Western-backed Palestinian Authority.
