RIYADH, November 13, 2026 (WAFA) – The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) condemned the continued violations committed by Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, including the shelling that targeted Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi said in a statement on Friday that attacks on hospitals and healthcare facilities constitute a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

He stressed that endangering patients, the wounded, and medical personnel, and undermining the ability of healthcare facilities to provide their services, compounds the suffering of the Palestinian people.

He emphasized that continued attacks on these facilities require firm international action to put an end to these violations and ensure accountability for those responsible.

The Secretary-General called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to assume its responsibilities and take effective measures to halt Israeli attacks, provide protection for civilians, ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid and medical supplies to all those in need across the Strip, and enable relief agencies to carry out their missions safely.

He reiterated the GCC states' support for the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights, foremost among them the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
