In statements issued by their foreign ministries, these countries deemed the attacks a "flagrant violation" of international humanitarian law and called on the international community to hold Israel accountable for its crimes in Gaza and compel it to halt them.
Countries condemning the attacks included Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, and Iraq.
On Thursday evening, the Gaza Civil Defense reported that 31 Palestinians were killed, six others were missing, and more than 100 were injured in an Israeli attack targeting the Dar al-Arqam School, which houses displaced persons in Gaza City, northeast of the Strip.
Israeli airstrikes also targeted a warehouse belonging to the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage in the Morag area of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, destroying medical supplies intended to meet the needs of patients and the injured, according to an official statement from Riyadh, which did not specify the date of the airstrike.
Qatar condemned in the "strongest terms" the two Israeli attacks, describing them as a "flagrant violation of international humanitarian law," and stressed "the need for the international community to act urgently to hold Israel accountable for its repeated crimes against civilians and civilian objects (in the Gaza Strip) and to compel it to comply with international law."
Saudi Arabia expressed its "strongest condemnation and denunciation of the Israeli escalation in the occupied Palestinian territories, the continued targeting of defenseless civilians and their shelters, and the killing of dozens, including the targeting of Dar Al-Arqam School." It also condemned "the Israeli occupation forces' targeting and destruction of the warehouse of the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage in Rafah."
She stressed that "the absence of international accountability mechanisms to deter Israeli violence and destruction has allowed the Israeli occupation authorities and their forces to persist in their violations of international law and international humanitarian law."
Kuwait also expressed its "strong condemnation and denunciation" of the attacks on Dar Al-Arqam School and the Saudi warehouse in Rafah, considering them a "flagrant violation of international law and all relevant UN resolutions."
She stressed that such attacks "are evidence of the absence of international accountability mechanisms," and emphasized "the State of Kuwait's position calling for the Security Council to assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security."
