Statement

The Foreign Ministry expresses the Republic of Iraq’s strongest condemnation and denunciation of the renewed brutal military operations carried out by the Israeli entity against unarmed civilians in the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the martyrdom of 404 Palestinians, the majority of whom were children and women and the injury of 562 others according to the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip. These acts of aggression constitute a clear violation of international and humanitarian law and directly target innocent civilians, which confirms the continuation of the Israeli entity’s policy of oppression and aggression against the Palestinian people. 

The Republic of Iraq calls on the international community to assume its moral and legal responsibilities and take urgent action to put an end to these gross violations and protect Palestinian civilians from the continuation of these attacks, which contravene the most basic principles of human rights.

The Republic of Iraq stresses its firm support for the Palestinian people in their just struggle to achieve their freedom and legitimate rights, including the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state.
