Abu Dhabi, SANA- The Global Council for Tolerance and Peace expressed its strong rejection and deep condemnation of the Israeli government’s decision to occupy the Gaza Strip, stressing that this action represents a dangerous escalation that will have tragic humanitarian consequences and threatens further shedding of innocent blood.

Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Jarwan, President of Council, warned in a statement that the continuation of these unilateral policies exacerbates the suffering of the Palestinian people, calling on the international community, the United Nations, and the Security Council to shoulder their legal and moral responsibilities to put an end to these violations, ensure the protection of civilians, and prevent the deterioration of the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The Council reiterated its support for the two-state solution as the only way to achieve security and stability in the region, stressing that the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state is a political, legal, and moral requirement that cannot be ignored.
