Published On: 7 May 2024

The Foreign Ministry expressed deep concern about the continued military escalation by the Israeli occupation forces and the war crimes and genocide against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories.

In a statement, the Ministry warned of the catastrophic effects of the Israeli occupation forces' intention to storm the city of Rafah which may lead to further conflict and tension in the region.

The Ministry said Oman calls on the international community to intervene immediately to stop the war and the ongoing brutal Israeli violations of international and humanitarian law.

The statement said Israel must be held fully responsible for these violations, war crimes and the policy of starvation and forced displacement, all of which represent crimes against humanity.
