MUSCAT: Oman has strongly condemned the recent attack by Israeli occupation forces on Kamal Adwan Hospital in the Gaza Strip. The hospital, a critical healthcare facility, was set ablaze during the attack, and patients, along with medical staff, were forcibly evacuated. This act of aggression further escalates the already dire humanitarian situation in the region, where civilians continue to suffer the devastating impacts of conflict.
In a statement, Oman expressed its deep concern over the targeting of healthcare facilities and the violation of international humanitarian law. The country’s government emphasized that such actions not only endanger innocent lives but also undermine efforts to achieve peace in the region. Oman called for accountability for these violations and the protection of civilians, especially those in medical facilities, under the laws of armed conflict.
Oman has consistently voiced its unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. The statement reaffirmed Oman’s commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, with the establishment of a Palestinian state that respects international law and the rights of the Palestinian people. This stance aligns with Oman’s long-standing policy of advocating for peaceful solutions through dialogue and diplomacy.
Oman also called on the international community to take urgent action in holding Israel accountable for its actions. The statement urged global leaders to work together to put an end to the ongoing violence and ensure the protection of human rights in Gaza and the wider region. As a member of the global community, Oman remains committed to promoting peace and supporting the rights of the Palestinian people in their quest for justice and sovereignty.
