Kazakhstan condemns the attacks
by Hamas against civilians in Israel and the capture of hostages, including
foreigners. The country supports the call of UN Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres on the immediate release of hostages and unimpeded access to
humanitarian aid. The Kazakh Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the armed
confrontation between Hamas and Israel, calling on Israel to refrain from using
force that leads to numerous civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip. According
to the statement, it is crucial to comply with the norms of international law
and follow the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council, which secure the
legal rights of the Palestinian people.
Moreover, Kazakhstan expresses
solidarity with the international community requiring canceling the established
time frame to evacuate the residents of the Gaza Strip and ensure the protection
of civilians who should not become hostages of the conflict. In this regard,
Kazakhstan calls on all parties to immediate ceasefire and focus efforts on
achieving a peaceful resolution based on stability and security for all
residents of the region according to the Two-State solution.
