Norwegian Development Minister: Situation in Gaza is disappointing
Norwegian Minister of International Development, Åsmund Aukrust, stated on Friday that the situation in the Gaza Strip is "disappointing, as humanitarian aid is being used as a weapon."
According to Quds Press Agency, Aukrust emphasized that "the war in Gaza must stop, and action must be taken because the number of dead and wounded is increasing every day."
The Norwegian minister called for "respecting international law and allowing organizations to deliver aid to Gaza."
The occupation forces renewed their aggression on the Gaza Strip at dawn on March 18, 2025, launching airstrikes across the territory, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of over 12,000 Palestinians. This escalation violated a ceasefire agreement with Palestinian resistance factions, which had lasted nearly 60 days after being mediated by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar.

Muscat - Saba: The Sultanate of Oman condemned in the strongest terms the statements and allegations made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding so-called "Greater Israel." The Sultanate expressed its categorical rejection of his illegal expansionist plans, which flagrantly violate international law and infringe upon the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state on their lands in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with Quds as its capital. In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday, the Sultanate of Oman stressed that these expansionist proposals pose a direct threat to the security and stability of the region and fuel hostility and tension at a time when there is a dire need for calm, cooperation among the countries of the region, and respect for the principles of national sovereignty. The Sultanate of Oman also affirmed its firm position in support of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries of the region, and its firm rejection of any plans aimed at undermining national entities or changing the political geography of the region. The Sultanate of Oman reiterated its firm commitment to supporting the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them their right to establish an independent state on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Quds as its capital, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative. The Sultanate of Oman called on the international community to take a firm stance against these aggressive policies, work to protect the rights of the Palestinian people, and ensure the achievement of a just and comprehensive peace in the region.

Sana'a - Saba: Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear Mujahideen, and in response to the crimes of genocide and starvation perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our people in the Gaza Strip... The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied Yaffa region using a "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile. The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, and caused millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters and suspending airport operations. The Yemeni Armed Forces are monitoring developments on the ground in Gaza and affirm their full confidence in the ability of the heroic Mujahideen from all factions to thwart the enemy's moves and foil its plan to occupy Gaza and displace its people, Allah willing, just as they foiled the previous aggressive military operation, named "Chariots of Gideon," and its predecessors. With Allah's help, we will remain with you and by your side until victory, utilizing all our available capabilities. We will escalate our support operations until the aggression against you stops and the siege is lifted. Sana'a, Safar 20, 1447 AH August 14, 2025 AD
