By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Today, Saudi Arabia and Muslim countries joined the call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

According to Reuters, the declaration was made at a joint Islamic-Arab summit in Riyadh.

The leaders said that Israel bears responsibility for “crimes” against Palestinians.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s ruler, gathered Arab and Muslim leaders for the summit calling on Israel for an end to hostilities in Gaza.

Leaders including Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad attended the meeting.

Prince Mohammed said the kingdom affirms its “condemnation and categorical rejection of this barbaric war against our brothers in Palestine”.

“We are facing a humanitarian catastrophe that proves the failure of the Security Council and the international community to put an end to the flagrant Israeli violations of international laws,” he added.

Palestinian officials said that a baby died in an incubator at Gaza’s largest hospital after it lost power, and a patient in intensive care was killed by an Israeli shell.
