RIYADH — The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and several other Arab and Islamic countries condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, which caused casualties among patients and medical personnel. In a joint statement, they reiterated that the attack is in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, which affords special protection to medical facilities and healthcare workers.The foreign ministers also include those from the countries of Egypt, Türkiye, Pakistan, Indonesia, Sudan, Libya, Palestine, Djibouti, Somalia, Oman, Mauritania, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, and Algeria.

They also denounced continued Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, including strikes on tents and other sites sheltering displaced persons. These attacks undermine the ceasefire and efforts to restore security and stability in Gaza and are inconsistent with President Trump’s Comprehensive Plan.

The ministers expressed grave concern that continued Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid, shelter materials, including tents, caravans and mobile homes, as well as medical supplies are deepening Gaza's humanitarian catastrophe as winter approaches. Inadequate shelter and deteriorating water, sanitation and healthcare services put civilian lives at grave risk, particularly those of children and infants, who could once again die from exposure to freezing temperatures.

The ministers called on Israel to heed appeals from the international community and the Board of Peace, for increased aid and to fulfil immediately and in full its obligations under the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement, President Trump's Comprehensive Plan and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025).

These first-phase commitments were due to take effect upon signature. Israel must implement them without further delay or additional conditions, including political and security conditions, that impede humanitarian access.
