The joint statement was issued by Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway, Slovenia, and Spain. Al-Budaiwi emphasized the necessity for the international community, with all its countries and institutions, to assume its moral and legal responsibilities to halt the grave violations committed by the Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
