The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the inability of countries and the international community to stop the genocide against the Palestinian people and the humanitarian catastrophe forcibly imposed on them is unjustifiable and alarming.

In a statement, the Ministry explained that despite the international consensus, shared by global institutions and UN courts, on the need to uphold international humanitarian law and human rights, the Israeli entity continues to escalate its aggression, using starvation, thirst, and denial of medical care as weapons of war, while the international community remains unable to put an end to this disregard for international demands, appeals, and legitimate resolutions.

The Ministry stressed that protecting humanity in the Gaza Strip is an international moral, legal, and political duty that must not be subjected to narrow calculations or interests, affirming that human life is not a bargaining chip, a tool for blackmail, or a means to improve negotiating terms.

It added that the continuation and intractability of the war narrows the already limited space available for major powers and the international community to avoid invoking Chapter VII of the UN Charter to halt crimes of genocide, displacement, and annexation.
