Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs _Gaza 11/08/2024

Algeria condemns in the strongest possible terms the barbaric massacre committed by the Zionist entity against defenceless civilians taking refuge in Al-Taba'een school in Gaza, to flee the fatal machine that follows them everywhere, not even sparing them during the performance of their prayers.

This heinous crime, which is a crime against humanity in its own right, adds to the bloodshed resulting from the Zionist aggression that includes proven crimes of genocide, undeniable war crimes and documented crimes against humanity, unprecedented in the history of humanity since the Second World War. Even worse, the Israeli settlement occupation is no longer content to target civilians by bombing, killings and destruction, but also by the spread of dangerous diseases and viruses that decimate innocent Palestinians in the Gaza strip.

Algeria reiterate the need for the international community to take action and adopt a firm and resolute stance, imposing on Israeli settlement occupation the same repressive and punitive measures imposed on others, in cases that represent just a drop in the ocean compared to the unprecedented crimes the occupation continues to perpetrate against defenceless Palestinian people, and brags about them. The Israeli settlement occupation cannot continue to enjoy total and absolute impunity and escape prosecution and punishment for the countless crimes it has committed and continues to commit in the occupied Palestinian territories and in the vicinity.
