# The Department of International Relations and Cooperation has strongly condemned Israel’s refusal to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, and its ongoing military operations in the West Bank.

They support the Arab League’s call for a United Nations peacekeeping force to ensure stability in Gaza and the West Bank.
