The Muslim world on August 10 condemned Israel’s bombing of a school in Gaza sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza City, Anadolu reports.At least 100 people were killed and several others were injured as the Israeli aircraft targeted Palestinians performing fajr (dawn) prayers at the Al-Taba’een School in the Al-Darajneighborhood.
In a statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry condemned the attack and accused Tel Aviv of a “lack of genuine intent” to end the ongoing war.
The ministry said that the attack is a “blatant disregard for international and humanitarian law.”
“The persistent large-scale attacks and the high civilian casualties increase whenever efforts to negotiate a cease-fire intensify,” it added.
Egypt reaffirmed its commitment to continuing diplomatic efforts to ensure humanitarian aid reaches Gaza and to work toward a cease-fire agreement.
SufyanQudah, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson, also expressed his country’s condemnation of Israel’s continued “breaches of international law and humanitarian norms.”
“This targeted attack, which comes at a time when mediators are making efforts to resume negotiations for a hostage exchange deal that could lead to a permanent cease-fire, signals the Israeli government’s intent to obstruct and undermine these efforts,” he said.
The spokesman called for an end to Israel’s “ongoing violations of international law” and urged that “those responsible for the atrocities be held accountable.”
The Saudi Foreign Ministry also condemned the Israeli occupation forces’ attack on the Al-Taba’een School.
In a statement, the ministry emphasized the “urgent need to halt the massacres in the Gaza Strip,” condemning “the international community’s inaction in holding Israel accountable for its crimes.”
