GCC chief “strongly” condemns Israeli strike on Gaza’s Khan Younis

The chief of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Al-Bedaiwi on Sunday "strongly" condemned an Israeli attack on a tent camp in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis, which left scores of Palestinians either dead or injured. The incident is part of "systemic" Israeli violence and brutality, said a statement by the Riyadh-based bloc, lamenting these actions as grave violations of established international laws and principles, while urging the international community to intervene and put an end to targeting of innocent Palestinians. Gulf Arab states will continue to support Palestinian rights until their statehood aspirations come to fruition, based on 1967 border lines with East Jerusalem as the capital of an independent Palestinian state, it underlined.
