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.

Arab Parliament, Arab League Condemn Iranian Attacks on Power, Water Desalination Facilities in Kuwait

Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit strongly condemned the Iranian attacks targeting power stations and water desalination plants in Kuwait.

In a statement issued on Monday, Aboul Gheit reiterated that any Iranian military attack on any Arab country, regardless of its form or scale, is rejected and condemned.

He stressed that targeting vital civilian facilities—such as water networks, energy and electricity facilities, transport centers, and residential areas—and intimidating civilians constitute a violation of legal principles and a war crime under international humanitarian law, for which the Iranian regime bears full responsibility, including compensation for damages.

He also reiterated the need for Iran to comply immediately with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817 in full and to halt its attacks on Arab countries.

Also, Arab Parliament Speaker Mohammed Al-Yamahi strongly condemned the Iranian missile and drone attack on a military camp in Kuwait, which resulted in injuries to 10 members of the armed forces.

He also condemned other attacks targeting power and desalination plants.

In a statement issued today, Al-Yamahi asserted that Iran’s continued hostile actions toward Arab states constitute a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and the principles of the UN Charter, driving the region toward further chaos, insecurity, and instability.

The speaker called on the international community to adopt a firm and deterrent stance to halt these Iranian violations against Arab states.

He reaffirmed the Arab Parliament’s solidarity with Kuwait and all Arab states subjected to such attacks, pledging support for all measures they take to protect their security, stability, and sovereignty.
