Statement

The Iraqi Foreign Ministry expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the brutal Israeli attack that targeted Al-Tabi’in school in Al-Daraj neighborhood in the eastern part of Gaza City, at dawn on Saturday, which led to the martyrdom of more than 100 Palestinians and the injury of dozens of innocent civilians. These repeated attacks against civilians constitute a blatant violation of all international norms and conventions, including international law and international humanitarian law, as well they demonstrate the Israeli entity’s disregard for international initiatives aimed at stopping the aggression on Gaza.

The Ministry reiterates its full solidarity with the brotherly Palestinian people in their plight, and underlines the need for the international community, and Islamic countries in particular, to take a firm and unified stance to stop these ongoing Israeli crimes and provide immediate protection to the defenseless Palestinian people.
