Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi strongly condemned the Israeli occupation authorities' announcement regarding the establishment of an agency aimed at forcibly displacing Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, as well as the approval to separate 13 illegal settlement neighborhoods in the occupied West Bank in preparation for their eventual legalization as colonial settlements.
Albudaiwi emphasized that this announcement constitutes a flagrant violation of international charters, treaties, and agreements, occurring under the watchful eyes of the international community. He further warned that these actions pose a serious threat to regional security and stability.
The Secretary-General reaffirmed the GCC's unwavering and full solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle against these inhumane and illegal actions by Israeli occupation forces. He stressed the urgent need for a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue—one that ensures security and stability in the region and adheres to international legitimacy. This includes full commitment to a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders, which would guarantee the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi strongly condemned the Israeli attack on the Syrian town of Koya on Tuesday.

In a statement, Albudaiwi said the attack is an extension of Israel’s aggressive policy of undermining security and stability in the region.

He referred to a statement issued by the Ministerial Council of the GCC in its 163rd session that emphasized the importance of respecting Syria's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.

The security and stability of Syria are essential pillars for the stability of the region's security, as well as for maintaining regional and international peace and security, he stressed.

Moreover, he underlined the need for the international community to fulfill its responsibilities to stop these repeated Israeli attacks on Syrian territory and called for the withdrawal from all occupied Syrian lands.

The Muslim World League (MWL) also condemned the attack.

In a statement, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa slammed Israel's violation of international laws and norms and its actions that are destabilizing Syria and the region.

He called on the international community to take immediate and decisive action against these dangerous violations.

He expressed full solidarity with Syria and its people against all threats to its security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
