Al-Busaidi noted that all countries have legal and moral obligations to respect international law, adding that the failure to do so is a grave threat to peace and stability.

Since 7 October, the Gaza Strip has been under attack by the Israeli occupation army, with the support of the United States and mercenaries, resulting in more than 18,000 deaths, 49,229 injured, mostly children and women, and “huge destruction of infrastructure” and “an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe,” according to Palestinian and international official sources.

The US used its veto power at the UN on Friday to vote against calls for a permanent ceasefire.
