The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that cutting electricity and blocking aid to the Palestinian people constitutes a continuation of genocide, deportation, and annexation crimes.

The statement strongly condemned the Israeli Ministry of Energy's decision to cut electricity in the Gaza Strip, saying: "We consider this a step that deepens the genocide, deportation, and humanitarian catastrophe faced by the people of Gaza at all levels of life. Particularly, the continued blockade of humanitarian aid to over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza leads to the most horrific forms of ethnic cleansing."

The ministry also added:

"The ministry believes that the double standards of the international community and the failure to implement United Nations resolutions and International Court of Justice precautionary measures encourage the occupying state to escalate its illegal actions against our people. The ministry calls for urgent international intervention to ensure international protection for our people, the continuation of aid and rescue operations, and to compel the Israeli government to fulfill its obligations as an occupying power."
