Oman has called on the international community to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes in the Gaza Strip and take immediate action to stop the massacre of innocent civilian Palestinians. Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al-Busaidi said in a statement on Tuesday that Muscat calls for \u201cthe prosecution of Israel for targeting civilians in Gaza.\u201d He said the international community needs to open an independent investigation into the regime\u2019s killing of Palestinians, destroying civilian infrastructure and depriving people of their humanitarian needs in the besieged territory. \u201cIn the end, truth must triumph and injustice must recede,\u201d Sayyid Badr said. \u201cGenocide or collective punishment and targeting innocent civilians, and preventing humanitarian aid from reaching the population is a crime under international law,\u201d Badr added. Israel launched the war on the Palestinian territory on October 7. The regime has also cut off fuel, electricity, food and water to more than two million Palestinians living in the coastal territory. Israel has killed more than 8,500 Palestinians, mostly women and children, ever since. The occupiers waged the war after they were caught off-guard by Operation Al-Aqsa Storm by the Palestinian resistance movements on October 7. Palestinian envoy to the United Nations Riyad Mansour made a stark warning about the humanitarian situation in the besieged territory, saying, \u201cGaza is now hell on Earth.\u201d He said, \u201cThis is a war against our children and every five minutes a Palestinian child is killed in the Gaza Strip.\u201d The regime\u2019s forces have \u201ckilled 3,500 Palestinian children in three weeks, and all the residents of Gaza have become displaced and refugees,” he said. \u201cThey are still being killed wherever they go. There is no safe place in the Gaza Strip, and Gaza has become hell on earth.\u201d The Palestinian envoy called on member states of the UN to take immediate action to stop the war. “Palestinians in Gaza face death every day and every night,\u201d Mansour said. “Save them.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
