Numerous states from all over the world have rushed to condemn the Israeli occupation's aggression on Jenin, which manifested Thursday in the form of a raid on the city's renowned refugee camp, leaving 10 martyred and dozens more injured.
The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry called on the international community to swiftly take action to "put an end to the continuous Israeli violations and provide protection for the Palestinian people."
Oman similarly called on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities by putting an end to the escalation and backing the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people by putting an end to the occupation and realizing comprehensive and just peace.
Jordanian House of Representatives Speaker Ahmad Safadi said the Israeli occupation's criminal actions in Jenin, which led to the martyrdom of 10 Palestinians, was proof that the occupation believed in nothing but brutality, the bloodshed of Palestinians, and the violation of international laws.
"The occupation government's actions will only cause more tension and escalation in Palestine, which has the right to defend itself in the face of the Israeli killing and destruction machine," he stressed. "The dangerous escalation poses a threat to affect regional stability as a whole."
Jenin massacre disgrace to normalizing states
"The Palestinian people refuse, with pride and dignity, but to remind the peoples of the region of the Islamic nation's holy cause, offering 10 martyrs and dozens of wounded from the Jenin camp," the political bureau of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement.
"The bloody massacre that the reckless enemy committed in the Jenin camp will not weaken the resolve of the Palestinian people; it will instead increase their determination to resist," Ansar Allah said.
The great sacrifices of the Palestinian people "are a source of honor and respect for the free people of our nation and the world as a whole," the statement read. "The struggle of the heroic Palestinian people is enough to defeat the enemy."
The Jenin massacre "is a disgrace to the normalizing governments, which bear responsibility because of their encouragement of the enemy to perpetuate its occupation and continue its crimes against the Palestinian people," Ansar Allah concluded.
Yemeni parties coalition supports Palestinian cause
The coalition of parties and political factions opposed to the aggression on Yemen said the Israeli occupation's actions, "the killing of women and children and the brutal, violent offensives on cities and refugee camps, is happening in light of complicity and silence from the treacherous Arabic regimes and the international community's silence regarding these brutal crimes."
Furthermore, the coalition called for popular mobilization in support of the Palestinian cause "and denunciation of the regimes of normalization and treason, as well as an affirmation of the option of resistance against US and Zionist hegemony in Palestine and the region."

Iraqi scholars condemn Jenin massacre
The Iraqi Scholars Association described what happened in Jenin and the Jenin refugee camp as a massacre being carried out by the Israeli occupation government in light of suspicious intentional silence.
Earlier in the night, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani strongly condemned the Israeli raid against the Jenin camp in Occupied Palestine's West Bank, which took place on Thursday morning and resulted in the martyrdom of 10 Palestinians and the injury of dozens of others.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that there were 20 injuries as a result of live munition from the Israeli occupation forces, including three civilians in critical condition while adding that there were dozens of suffocations as a result of the IOF raiding the Jenin Governmental Hospital.
Consequently, the Palestinian resistance factions denounced the Israeli raid and stressed that "the Israeli enemy will pay the price for its crimes."
Kanaani denounced the inaction of the international bodies and Western states who claim to be human rights advocates and slammed the silence maintained over the daily crimes committed by the occupying regime as saddening and disgraceful.
