Condemnation and outrage have swept across the globe following an Israeli air raid that killed dozens of people in the al-Mawasi area of Gaza, which was supposed to be a designated “safe zone.” The attack resulted in at least 90 deaths and 300 injuries, according to Palestinian authorities.

Egypt expressed concern over the impact of Israeli violations on achieving a ceasefire deal. Qatar labeled the attack a “shocking and brutal massacre” that would undermine efforts for peace. Turkey accused the Netanyahu government of trying to annihilate Palestinians and called for an end to the violence.
Iran condemned the attack as a crime committed by the “child-killing Zionist regime.” The Palestinian Authority criticized the US administration for enabling Israel’s actions and labeled the attack as part of a genocidal war. President Gustavo Petro of Colombia denounced the injustice of the attack, calling it a prelude to barbarism against oppressed peoples.
Saudi Arabia urged for international accountability against Israeli abuses. US Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal called for an immediate ceasefire to save lives in Gaza. UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, expressed disgust at Israel’s impunity and raised concerns about possible violations of international law.
