Several Arab countries have condemned an Israeli strike that hit tents housing displaced people near Gaza's southern city of Rafah.
Egypt condemned "Israeli forces' deliberate bombing of displaced people's tents in the Palestinian city of Rafah ... in a new and blatant violation of the provisions of international law," a Foreign Ministry statement said.
Qatar also condemned the attack as a "grave violation of international laws that will aggravate the humanitarian crisis in the besieged Strip."
Qatar expressed concern that the latest strike complicates the ongoing mediation efforts and obstructs reaching a permanent ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and a hostages exchange deal, the Foreign Ministry said.
Months of mediation by Egypt, Qatar and the United States in indirect negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian militant organization Hamas have yet to result in a breakthrough.
In separate statements, Jordan and Kuwait condemned "war crimes" committed by Israel in Gaza and urged the international community to compel Israel to adhere to the recent decision of the International Court of Justice, which ordered Israel last week to halt its assault on Rafah.
