[22/ March/2025]
Capitals - Saba:

The Zionist enemy's resumption of its aggression on the Gaza Strip last Tuesday morning, two months after a ceasefire, which resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths and injuries, sparked a wave of Arab and international reactions condemning the renewed aggression and holding the US administration directly responsible.

These countries called for immediate intervention to halt the aggression and prevent the region from relapsing into a renewed cycle of genocidal warfare. They also called for pressure on the Israeli enemy to return to its commitment to the ceasefire agreement and enter the second phase of the prisoner exchange agreement.

The most prominent reaction came from Yemen, which affirmed that the United States is the perpetrator and facilitator of the Zionist entity's perpetration of genocidal crimes in Gaza. It also encouraged the enemy entity to persist in its actions, giving it the green light to commit the most heinous crimes that are shameful to humanity.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Yemen condemned in the strongest terms the resumption of the Zionist entity's aggression against Gaza, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of hundreds of Palestinian civilians, most of them women and children.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the Zionist aggression threatens security and stability in the region and the world, and confirms that the Zionist entity does not abide by covenants and agreements and disregards international laws.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated Yemen's continued support for the oppressed Palestinian people by all possible means.

The Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned the Zionist entity's resumption of its aggression against the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.

The ministry affirmed in a statement that these systematic crimes against the Palestinian people constitute a violation of the ceasefire agreement, all international norms, and international humanitarian law. This calls for urgent intervention by the international community to put an end to this aggression against humanity, protect civilians, and hold the Zionist enemy accountable for its actions.

The Lebanese Hezbollah movement also condemned the Zionist enemy's resumption of its war of extermination against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, targeting children, women, and defenseless civilians as they sleep.

The party's statement read, "America and the occupation are two sides of the same coin, thirsty for blood and knowing only the language of killing and destruction."

The Truth About the US Administration

It explained that the resumption of aggression "exposes the truth about the US administration in its ongoing efforts to destabilize the region through aggression against Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen; through its absolute support for its Zionist military apparatus and its efforts to impose new policies and facts on the ground by force of fire."

It noted that the occupation aims to "eradicate the just Palestinian cause and displace its people from their land."

The Grand Mufti of the Sultanate of Oman, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Khalili, also called on the Islamic nation and people of conscience to confront this Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry also strongly condemned "the new round of attacks and massacre committed by the Zionist entity in Gaza."

It held the US administration directly responsible for the ongoing crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry emphasized the responsibility of all countries and the United Nations to stop the crimes of genocide against the people of Gaza.

Dangerous Escalation

Egypt condemned the Israeli airstrikes that targeted the Gaza Strip early this morning, killing most of the victims, including children and women. It considered this a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement and a dangerous escalation that threatens dire consequences for regional stability.

In a statement, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed its complete rejection of all Israeli attacks aimed at re-igniting tension in the region and thwarting efforts to calm the situation and restore stability.

It called on the international community to intervene immediately to halt the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and prevent the region from relapsing into a renewed cycle of violence.

Meanwhile, Jordanian Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan affirmed that the war waged by the Israeli entity on Gaza is a war against humanity, emphasizing that the international community must be concerned with halting this brutality that has targeted children, women, and the defenseless.

Setting the Region ablaze

Meanwhile, Qatar stated that "the occupation's escalating policies will ultimately lead to setting the region ablaze and undermining its security and stability."

In a statement, the Qatari Foreign Ministry emphasized "the urgent need to resume dialogue in order to implement the stages of the ceasefire agreement and end the war on Gaza."

It noted that "the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in Gaza have reached an unprecedented level in human history, necessitating urgent international action."

The Algerian Foreign Ministry also condemned, in a statement, the resumption of the Zionist enemy's brutal aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, considering it "a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement, without the slightest regard for international conventions and norms."

It affirmed its "absolute solidarity with the Palestinian people and its constant support for them."

Deliberate Ignorance

Also, in a statement, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Kuwait's "strong condemnation and denunciation of the recent Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip," stressing that "this military escalation represents a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and a deliberate disregard for international laws and conventions."

It stated that the Israeli aggression "reveals the continuation of the occupation's policies based on targeting defenseless civilians, imposing forced displacement, and systematically destroying the Strip's infrastructure."

In this context, the United Nations expressed its shock at the renewed Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, calling for respect for the ceasefire announced last January.

UN spokesman Rolando Gomez said at a press conference in Geneva that "the Secretary-General is shocked by the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza," urging respect for the ceasefire and the resumption of unhindered humanitarian access.

In the same context, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, expressed his shock at the Israeli airstrikes, calling for "an immediate end to this nightmare."

Exacerbating the Palestinian Tragedy

Turk said in a statement that "the only way forward is to reach a political settlement in accordance with international law," adding that the Zionist entity's use of further military force will only exacerbate the tragedy of the Palestinian people, who are already suffering from catastrophic conditions.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights stressed that the war must end completely.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also called on the international community to put an end to the Zionist entity's genocidal policy toward the Gaza Strip, stressing that the Zionist entity's renewed attacks on Gaza are unacceptable.

In a statement, Erdoğan stressed the need for the international community to put an end to the genocidal policy and ensure a return to a ceasefire as soon as possible.

Spiral of Escalation

Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares expressed the Spanish government's rejection of the Zionist entity's resumption of indiscriminate bombing of civilians in the Gaza Strip, warning that this is not the best path to peace and security.

In a press statement, Albares stressed the need to reject and condemn this new wave of violence and bombings that are indiscriminately targeting civilians. In this context, he reiterated Spain's condemnation of the occupation's decision to suspend humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and cut off its electricity supply.

The Kremlin also warned of a "spiral of escalation" in Gaza after the Zionist enemy launched its most violent strikes on the Strip since the January ceasefire.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, "The worsening of the situation, another spiral of escalation, is a source of concern for us."

For its part, Belgium condemned the Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and warned of their severe humanitarian repercussions.

Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévost said, "The agreement between the Israeli occupation and Hamas is clear and stipulates a ceasefire."

He condemned the new Israeli airstrikes and their severe repercussions, which threaten these targets, stressing that the ban on humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians "is a serious violation of international law."

France, for its part, condemned the Israeli strikes on Gaza and called for an end to the Israeli bombing. It also demanded ensuring the protection of civilians and the rebuilding of water and electricity networks in Gaza.

In a statement, the French Foreign Ministry called on the enemy forces to immediately cease hostilities that threaten efforts to free prisoners and the lives of civilians in the Gaza Strip. It called for a return to full respect for the ceasefire agreement and for engaging in negotiations "in good faith to make it sustainable."

It also called on the occupying forces to ensure permanent protection for all civilians, restore electricity and water to the Gaza Strip, and immediately remove obstacles preventing the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip.

Respecting the Agreement

Meanwhile, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated that "the end of the ceasefire in Gaza due to Israeli airstrikes is deeply concerning."

Meanwhile, Australia called for adherence to the terms of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, following the resumption of the Zionist enemy's war of extermination.

This came in a post by Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong on the X platform, against the backdrop of the Zionist entity's resumption of its war of extermination in the Gaza Strip.

Wong emphasized the need to protect civilians, respect the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, and fully implement the agreement's obligations.

Meanwhile, Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said that "reports of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza are deeply concerning."

Martin urged respect for the ceasefire agreement and full implementation of its obligations.

Public Complicity

Meanwhile, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez condemned the resumption of Zionist attacks on the residents of the Gaza Strip, accusing the US government of public complicity.

He wrote on his X account, "The extermination of the Palestinian people is the only way for Israel to achieve its expansionist dreams and control the Gaza Strip," calling for an immediate end to the Zionist genocide.

Statements and condemnations have been issued in the Arab world and internationally, denouncing the Israeli enemy's resumption of its aggression on the Gaza Strip and its return to committing crimes of genocide against the Palestinian people throughout the Strip. This attempt to pressure Hamas to hand over the remaining prisoners outside the agreement, thus abandoning any leverage it could use to negotiate an end to the war on the Gaza Strip. This is in light of the Arab and Islamic stance that has not gone beyond statements of condemnation and denunciation. This makes the responsibility of the Arab and Islamic regimes and peoples great in this world and the hereafter. There is no excuse for anyone today after the Israeli enemy reached an unprecedented level of breaking promises and committing massacres, in light of unlimited American complicity and support.

The positions of other countries, however, mostly equate the victim with the executioner, calling for restraint, in an attempt to present a false reality. The Gaza Strip is being subjected to a barbaric aggression and a brutal war of extermination by Zionist aircraft and missiles with clear and declared American support. What do we understand by calls for restraint? What do we understand by the demand for all parties to abide by the ceasefire agreement and the prisoner exchange? And the Israeli enemy is the one who broke and refused to continue implementing the agreement, prevented the entry of aid, closed the crossings, and announced the resumption of aggression and the continuation of the war of extermination?! What we understand is that we are facing a barbaric aggression using the most powerful American weapons against defenseless civilians. Therefore, everyone is required to clearly declare their position, raise their voices loudly, condemn the occupation, and stand together against its barbarism and the American support it receives.
