Islamic countries condemn Gaza deaths as Israel prepares to open Rafah crossing

Eight Islamic countries have issued a joint condemnation of Israel following a weekend of deadly airstrikes in Gaza and a move to ban the medical aid charity Doctors Without Borders. The countries, including Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, accused Israel of repeated ceasefire violations and warned that such actions threaten regional stability and ongoing peace efforts. The controversy comes as Israel prepares to reopen the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, a critical passage for thousands of Palestinians seeking medical care or wishing to return home. However, Israel has announced strict limits on the number of people allowed to cross each day and plans to further restrict medical aid by terminating the operations of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza, citing security concerns. The charity has criticized the move as an obstruction to vital humanitarian assistance for Gazans in desperate need.
