Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary General Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani today strongly condemned the brutal Israeli airstrikes on Gaza Strip, which left a heavy death toll among innocent Palestinians. In a statement to Saudi Press Agency (SPA), he denounced the atrocious Israeli attacks on the occupied territories and the repressive and revenge policies, which represent a blatant violation of the Palestinians' inalienable rights and a flagrant affront to the international laws. Dr. Al-Zayani described the latest assault on besieged Palestinian people in Gaza as reflecting Israel's rejection of the peace process. He called upon the international community and the UN Security Council to assume their responsibilities and act quickly to protect the Palestinian people and put an end to the brutal Israeli shelling of Gaza Strip.
