Egypt, in a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday, condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli attacks on Nuseirat Camp that killed over 150 Palestinians. Egypt called on influential international parties and the Security Council to urgently intervene to stop the Israeli war against the Palestinians in Gaza.
Jordan's foreign ministry said it "condemned the brutal Israeli assault" on the camp, calling it a "practice that reflects the systematic targeting of Palestinian civilians, the Israeli persistence in violating international law and international humanitarian law, and the continuation of committing war crimes".
A number of Arab and Muslim countries also issued statements strongly condemning the Israeli army's attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp, considering it a blatant challenge to public opinion and international law.
