Oman Rejects Israeli Occupation Forces’ Move to Storm Palestinian City of Rafah

Muscat, 11 Feb (ONA) --- The Sultanate of Oman voiced its categorical rejection of the Israeli occupation forces’ move to storm the Palestinian City of Rafah, which is now sheltering hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians displaced from the northern section of the Gaza Strip. Oman noted that this chaotic situation was a direct outcome of Israel’s brutal aggression that left about 30,000 dead and tens of thousands wounded or missing.

In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry today, Oman pointed out that Israel’s action was in flagrant defiance of the international law and international human charters. It also warned against the serious fallouts of this persistent and indiscriminate aggression against the Gaza Strip.

In the statement, Oman reiterated its plea to the international community to take concrete measures to put to practice the global political positions to address Israel’s arrogance and force it to accept a ceasefire and provide humanitarian needs for the displaced population in the Gaza Strip.

Oman urged the international community to hold Israel fully accountable for the catastrophic targeting of civilians, property and facilities in the Gaza Strip.
