The Arab Observatory for Human Rights (AOHR) called on the United Nations General Assembly to activate its Resolution "Uniting for Peace" No. 377 to stop Israel’s war on Gaza Strip.

In a statement on Thursday, the Observatory, which is affiliated with the Arab Parliament, also called on it to provide legal support and crimes documentation to the requested investigation by the Palestinian Authority from the International Criminal Court.

AOHR expressed concern over the continuation of the Israeli war in Gaza, which will cause dire consequences for the security and stability of the whole Middle East region.

It called on the international community and the International Criminal Court to take urgent action and investigate the war crimes committed by Israeli forces against the defenseless Palestinian people in Gaza.

Additionally, the Observatory urged the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to form an international fact-finding committee that focuses on human rights violations and other war crimes committed in Gaza.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Saturday the blatant Israeli attack against military infrastructure in southern Syria.

A Foreign Ministry statement condemned the attack as a flagrant violation of international law and Syria’s sovereignty.

“Saudi Arabia reiterates its rejection of this blatant aggression and of Israel's violation of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement,” it said.

“The Kingdom renews its call to the international community to put an end to Israel's violations of international laws and norms. The Kingdom affirms its solidarity with Syria and its support for all efforts aimed at preserving its sovereignty, maintaining its territorial integrity and unity and achieving security and stability for its people,” it stressed.

Israel's military said on Friday it had struck southern Syria in response to what it called attacks against the Druze community in Sweida province.
