The organizations further denounced Israel’s failure to comply with the announced ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, accusing it of repeatedly violating it and obstructing the entry of humanitarian aid.
They called on governments worldwide to sever all diplomatic, economic, sports, cultural, and academic ties with Israel, impose international sanctions, and support legal efforts at the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.[]
