JAKARTA - Indonesia strongly condemns Israel's repeated barbarity in Gaza, including at the Nuseirat Camp, the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said through X.

"The international world must act immediately to stop Israeli atrocities against civilians in Gaza," said the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sunday, June 9.

In the statement, it was stated that Indonesia called for the immediate enactment of a ceasefire and a permanent cessation of war in Gaza.

At least 210 Palestinians were killed and more than 400 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on Saturday in the central Gaza Strip, when Israeli soldiers rescued four hostages in the region.

Khalil Al Dakran, Director of Al Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al Balah, central Gaza, told Xinhua that many Palestinians were injured and rushed to the hospital as a result of intense Israeli bomb attacks in the Nuseirat camp and Deir Al Balah City.

Some of the victims were confirmed dead.

Palestinian Presidential Spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina said the attack launched at the Nuseirat Camp was a continuation of the "genocide" war against the Palestinian people, in which the American government should be "full responsibility".

The war he called would "destroy everything and push everything in a dangerous direction that would not make security or peace for anyone" material.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas instructed Palestinian envoys at the United Nations to request an emergency hearing of the UN Security Council to discuss the "sacrement" carried out by Israeli troops at the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Abbas stressed the importance of international intervention to stop the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

He pointed out that Israel continues to exploit the international silence and support of the US for committing crimes that violate all international and international legal resolutions.
