UAE Condemns Israeli Violation of Gaza Ceasefire

UAE Condemns Israeli Violation of Gaza Ceasefire

The United Arab Emirates expresses strong condemnation of Israel's airstrikes in Gaza, calling for immediate global action to prevent further escalation.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has condemned Israel's violation of the ceasefire in Gaza, denouncing in the strongest terms the Israeli airstrikes that have resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of Palestinians.

This escalation is seen as a breach of the ceasefire agreement reached in January, prompting warnings about the consequences of military escalation that threatens more innocent lives and worsens the humanitarian crisis in the region.

In a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UAE called on the international community to take urgent steps to halt the escalation, emphasizing the necessity for all efforts to achieve an immediate ceasefire and protect civilians.

The UAE underscored the importance of stopping punitive measures that endanger lives, restoring electricity, opening borders, and ensuring the safe and sustainable delivery of humanitarian aid without obstacles.

The UAE reiterated the need to resume the ceasefire agreement between the conflicting parties.

Warnings were issued that continued Israeli airstrikes on civilian areas would exacerbate the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, leading to new levels of violence, tension, and instability in the region.

The international and Arab-Islamic communities have also condemned the renewed bombardment of Gaza, where approximately 2.3 million Palestinians reside.

The United States has been the only country to provide cover for Israel, which has stated it will continue its bombardment of the already devastated region.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres expressed shock over the renewed Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, calling for respect for the ceasefire.

UN humanitarian coordinator Tom Fletcher commented that the resumption of airstrikes throughout Gaza has triggered grave fears, with unconfirmed reports of hundreds of casualties.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, expressed deep concern over the Israeli strikes, urging an immediate end to the violence.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) expressed alarm for children in Gaza following the airstrikes.

UNICEF spokesperson Rosalia Paulin noted that more than a million children in Gaza are suffering the most from the ramifications of the ongoing conflict.

Reports indicated that hundreds have been killed, including many children, as emergency teams recover body parts from the rubble of buildings destroyed by the strikes.

Hospital officials have reported that medical facilities are overwhelmed and facing significant shortages, particularly of antibiotics, which hampers their ability to treat children with serious injuries.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) called on the international community to halt what it termed genocide being perpetrated by Israel against Palestinians, condemning in a statement the resumption of Israeli military aggression on Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths and injuries of many, predominantly women, children, and the elderly.

China and Russia have strongly condemned Israel's resumption of hostilities in Gaza and called for the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid.

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit claimed that Israel is jeopardizing the lives of Israeli hostages in Gaza and disregarding the ceasefire agreement, which was supposed to enter its second phase soon.

He labeled the resumption of violence in Gaza as an act devoid of humanity and a challenge to international will supporting a ceasefire.

Cairo described the Israeli strikes on Gaza as hostile, framing them within a broader agenda of forced displacement.

Qatar similarly condemned the renewed airstrikes, warning of Israel's escalation policies that could ignite regional tensions.

In Amman, Jordan's government spokesperson, Mohammad Momani, expressed concern over the ongoing Israeli bombardment of Gaza, which has resulted in numerous casualties, and articulated Jordan's strong condemnation and rejection of this attack on humanity.

Iraq’s foreign ministry characterized the assaults as flagrant violations of international humanitarian law, directly targeting innocent civilians.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock expressed profound concern regarding the end of the ceasefire in Gaza due to Israeli attacks, urging for the immediate resumption of talks for the second phase of the ceasefire and the release of more hostages.

In Israel, the families of hostages have accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of sacrificing the captives in Gaza, calling for an end to the violence.

They stated that despite multiple requests, government officials had not met with families, as they were preparing to undermine the ceasefire that could threaten the lives of hostages.

The United States, however, asserted that Hamas chose war by refusing to release Israeli hostages.

National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes stated that Hamas could have extended the ceasefire by releasing the hostages but opted instead for conflict.

A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department declared that Hamas bears full responsibility for the war and the resurgence of hostilities.

Israel indicated that its bombings were conducted in "full coordination" with the United States, with an Israeli minister stating that the U.S. was informed about the upcoming attacks beforehand and supported them.

Recent airstrikes have reportedly resulted in the deaths of over 400 Palestinians in a matter of hours.

Health officials and emergency responders reported that sudden Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have exacerbated the burden on hospitals, which have already been strained by the impacts of a siege lasting more than two weeks, as ambulances rushed hundreds of severely injured individuals to medical facilities.

An emergency physician at Médecins Sans Frontières in Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis indicated that the facility received at least 400 cases within two hours, many of which included severe injuries.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, which collaborates with emergency and health services in Gaza, reported that their medical facilities are unable to accommodate the influx of injured individuals.
