The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General, Jassem Mohamed Albudaiwi, said that the dangerous statements by an Israeli minister in the occupying government on the use of a nuclear bomb on Gaza underscore the extremism of the Zionist occupation against the Palestinian people.
"The dangerous statements by a minister in the Israeli occupying government regarding the use of a nuclear bomb on Gaza are a call for genocide, confirming the extremism and brutality of the Zionist occupation against the Palestinian people, and its grave and ongoing violations in Gaza, along with its disregard for the lives of innocent civilians," Albudaiwi said, SPA reported.

The GCC Secretary-General called for holding the Israeli government accountable for this reckless threat.
He strongly condemned these unbalanced statements and actions, which could exacerbate the ongoing crisis in the Gaza Strip and underscore the Israeli occupation's intent to persist in this attack in violation of all international conventions, norms, and laws.

Also, The Arab Parliament (AP) has condemned the statements made by the Israeli Minister, describing them as barbaric, confirming the criminal and racist nature of the occupying forces, and their blatant disregard of all international laws and norms.

The AP emphasized that the oppressive occupying force would not have been able to commit such criminal acts and threaten to use weapons of mass destruction if it were not for the shameful silence that still prevails in the international community.
This silence persists despite the genocidal and racist war waged by the occupying force against the Palestinian people, the AP said.
Moreover, the AP called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to fulfill its international responsibilities, condemn these statements as an official acknowledgement by the occupation Israeli government of its possession of nuclear weapons, and officially record it.

For their part, the Muslim World League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation also slammed the Israeli statements.

The MWL released statements denouncing in the strongest terms the israeli statement, which reflects the level of audacity and barbarism.
The MWL called on the international community to assume its responsibilities towards the horrifying disasters in the Gaza Strip, especially with their continuing catastrophic repercussions.

OIC also condemned the racist remarks made by the Israeli Heritage Minister, saying his remarks reflect extremism, hate speech, incitement to violence, organized terrorism, and the ongoing genocide perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against Palestinian civilians daily, in clear defiance of international law, conventions, and resolutions.
The OIC also emphasized that this speech is unacceptable and an extension of an extremist terrorist ideology.
Moreover, it called for condemnation from the international community and the implementation of effective measures to halt the military aggression, daily massacres, and genocide conducted by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.

Saudi Arabia, Arab and Islamic Countries Condemn Statements by the US Ambassador to Israel

The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, Türkiye, Syria, Palestine, Kuwait, Lebanon, the Sultanate of Oman, and the Kingdom of Bahrain, together with League of Arab States (LAS), expressed their strong condemnation and profound concern regarding the statements made by the United States Ambassador to Israel, in which he indicated that it would be acceptable for Israel to exercise control over territories belonging to Arab states, including the occupied West Bank.

The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported "their categorical rejection of such dangerous and inflammatory remarks, which constitute a flagrant violation of the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and pose a grave threat to the security and stability of the region."

The ministries stressed that these statements directly contradict the vision put forward by US President Donald Trump, as well as the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which are based on containing escalation and creating a political horizon for a comprehensive settlement that ensures the Palestinian people have their own independent state.

They underscored that the plan is grounded in promoting tolerance and peaceful coexistence, and that remarks seeking to legitimize control over the lands of others undermine these objectives, fuel tensions, and constitute incitement rather than advancing peace.

The ministries reaffirmed that Israel has no sovereignty whatsoever over the Occupied Palestinian Territory or any other occupied Arab lands. They reiterated their firm rejection of any attempts to annex the West Bank or separate it from the Gaza Strip, their strong opposition to the expansion of settlement activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and their categorical rejection of any threat to the sovereignty of Arab states.

They further warned that the continuation of Israel’s expansionist policies and unlawful measures will only inflame violence and conflict in the region and undermine the prospects for peace and called for an end to these incendiary statements, according to SPA.

The ministries underscored their countries’ steadfast commitment to the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and to the establishment of their independent state along the lines of 4 June 1967, and the end of the occupation of all Arab lands.

GCC, OIC Condemn Statements by US Ambassador to Israel

Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi expressed rejection and condemnation of the irresponsible and unacceptable statements made by the United States Ambassador to the government of the Israeli occupation forces.

The statements included acceptance of the occupation’s control over lands belonging to Arab states, including the occupied West Bank.

The Secretary General stressed that the statements constitute a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter, which affirm the sovereignty of states and the unity and full sovereignty of their territories, SPA reported.

He noted that these unprecedented remarks are inconsistent with the United States' directions and the vision put forward by US President Donald Trump for regional and international partners. The vision aims to achieve peace and reach a lasting solution to the Palestinian issue, contributing to enhanced security and stability in the region and worldwide.

He reaffirmed the GCC’s firm commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This position aligns with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.

Also, the General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressed its condemnation of those statements, saying they were "dangerous and irresponsible," describing them as an unacceptable call for Israel, the occupying power, to expand and seize more Palestinian and Arab lands.

The OIC General Secretariat stressed that such remarks are based on false and rejected historical and ideological claims that violate the sovereignty of states, diplomatic norms, principles of international law, United Nations (UN) resolutions, and the UN Charter.

According to SPA, it also warned that this extremist ideological discourse is liable to fuel extremism and encourage the Israeli occupation to persist in its unlawful practices of displacement, settlement, annexation, and attempts to impose sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory – actions that threaten security and stability throughout the entire region.

Additionally, the OIC General Secretariat reaffirmed its firm and absolute support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them their right to self-determination and to establish their independent, sovereign state on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
