The Palestinian foreign ministry has said international inaction on “genocide against our people” amounted to complicity with Israel as its military offensive continues in Gaza.

The ministry, in a statement on X, condemned the “international community’s ongoing failure to prevent the systematic genocide of the Palestinian people, as the Israeli occupation intensifies its war crimes in Gaza”.

It stressed that “empty statements and unenforced resolutions provide cover for the [Israeli] occupation’s agenda of destruction and displacement”.

“This inaction reveals an alarming double standard in the international system, where Palestinians suffer not only under occupation but under a world order complicit in their suffering,” it highlighted.
