The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) urged on Tuesday the international community to take immediate and collective action to press Israeli forces to halt their dangerous aggressive violations in the Palestinian Territories and their threat to the lives of innocent civilians.
GCC Secretary-General Jassim Mohammed Albudaiwi stressed that the “continuation of mob attacks and provocations undermines the chances of peace and fuels the escalating episodes of violence in the region.”
He urged “immediate international intervention to end the crisis.”
Moreover, he said the expansion of Israeli military operations within Palestinian territories, including Rafah in the Gaza Strip, would expose the lives of many Palestinians to risks and directly threaten the security and peace of the entire region.
Albudaiwi reiterated the GCC's s call for an international conference involving all relevant parties to discuss all issues related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to reach a solution based on ending the Israeli occupation and establishing an independent Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital, according to relevant United Nations resolutions and the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative.
