The GCC Secretary-General called on the international community, including all of its states and organizations to tak e immediate and serious action to achieve an immediate ceasefire and put an end to the dangerous Israeli military operations, in addition to holding those responsible for these violations accountable. Albudaiwi also reiterated the GCC countries' steadfast support for the just Palestinian cause and their efforts to protect the Palestinian people from the Israeli occupation forces' oppression and criminal behavior.
