This, the Ministry emphasized, requires decisive international solidarity to compel Israel to adhere to the international legitimacy resolutions.The Ministry reaffirmed the State of Qatar's firm and permanent stance in support of the Palestinian cause and the steadfastness of the brotherly Palestinian people, based on the international legitimacy resolutions and the two-state solution that guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The Palestinian Ministry of Education confirmed that the education system is being subjected to an ongoing, unprecedented, and systematic annihilation, particularly in the Gaza Strip, by the Israeli occupation. Thousands of school and university students were martyred, and hundreds of educational facilities were destroyed, representing a major crime against humanity and a clear violation of the right to education. In a statement issued on the occasion of the International Day to Protect Education from Attack, the ministry explained that the West Bank, including Jerusalem, is witnessing a comprehensive targeting of the education system amid an escalation in violations against staff, students, and educational and academic institutions. This is particularly true in Jerusalem, the northern West Bank districts, the Jordan Valley, Yatta, and the Old City of Hebron, through acts of destruction, raids, and harassment of schools, students, and staff. The ministry called on the international community, UN institutions, human rights organizations, and education advocates to assume their responsibilities and take urgent action to stop this genocide against Palestinian education. It also called for the protection of schools, students, teachers, and educational and academic personnel in accordance with international laws and conventions. Education is a right, and targeting it is a crime. The ministry also stressed that this day is an opportunity to shed light on the violations that have affected education in the Gaza Strip, to the point that they amount to educational genocide.

The Israeli occupation forces on Sunday carried out one of the most destructive assaults on Gaza City since the resumption of the war on March 18, flattening entire blocks and inflicting widespread devastation. Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip, said more than 50 buildings were completely destroyed, while another 100 were partially damaged, including high-rise towers that housed thousands of residents. He described the day as "one of the most difficult since the war resumed." Basal accused the occupation of deliberately targeting buildings surrounded by displaced persons' tents and shelters, leading to the destruction of more than 200 tents. He called this a "systematic policy" aimed at intensifying forced displacement. Civil Defense teams received multiple distress calls from civilians trapped under the rubble in the Zarqa area of the Tuffah neighborhood, where an entire building was bombed while residents were inside. The renewed bombardment also struck the few remaining mosques in Gaza City. Basal warned that Israel's "inhumane and immoral policy" against civilians risked worsening the humanitarian catastrophe and urged the international community to take urgent action to halt the ongoing massacres. On Sunday evening, Israeli occupation forces demolished the six-story Al-Ruya Tower, one of Gaza City's most prominent residential buildings, leaving behind scenes of devastation.
