GCC Condemns Tulkarm Mosque Burning
The Gulf Cooperation Council strongly condemned the torching of a mosque in Kour village in Tulkarm Governorate, North of the West Bank, by settlers, as well as the writing of racist slogans on its walls. It described these actions as a blatant violation of international law and of Islamic worship rights. The Secretary-General of the Council confirmed that assaults continue and target Palestinian holy sites, holding Israel responsible for the ongoing violations and its protective policies towards settlers that exempt them from accountability. He called on the international community and human rights organizations to act to stop these attacks, warning that continued impunity could lead to an escalation of tensions in the region. The Council also reaffirmed its support for the Palestinian people's right to establish an independent state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This comes amid reports of two mosques being set ablaze and other assaults in the West Bank, amidst increasing violence by the occupation and arrests of Palestinians.
