In an official statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the attacks violate international law and the principle of resolving disputes through peaceful, non-violent means. The statement urged all parties to immediately halt military actions and called on the United Nations Security Council to convene an urgent session to enforce a ceasefire, stressing the need for the international community to uphold international law.
The statement reaffirmed the right of states to self-defense under international law while emphasizing restraint and the pursuit of diplomatic solutions.
