GCC condemns Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide and ethnic cleansing

At their meeting in Kuwait on Sunday, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) leaders called for an "immediate and permanent" ceasefire in Gaza.

They voiced strong support for the ICC's arrest warrants for Israeli leaders Netanyahu and Gallant, rejecting Israel’s claims of self-defense and condemning the violence in Gaza as part of a "genocide and ethnic cleansing agenda."

The leaders cited the killing of civilians, torture, summary executions, forced displacement, and looting as part of these crimes.
