Saudi Arabia condemns Israeli strike on Gaza hospital

  • Gaza’s health ministry said the Israeli airstrike hit the fourth floor of the hospital on Monday, killing at least 20 people

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday condemned an Israeli strike that killed medical and media personnel at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.

Gaza’s health ministry said the Israeli airstrike hit the fourth floor of the hospital on Monday, killing at least 20 people in a double-tap strike. Among the victims were four journalists, according to Palestinian health officials.

The Saudi ministry reiterated the Kingdom’s rejection of Israel’s violations of international law and called on the international community to act to halt such crimes and ensure protection for medical, relief, and media workers.

The condemnation came as Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan told a ministerial meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Jeddah on Monday that Israel’s continued violations undermine international efforts to achieve a two-state solution.
