As the war between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas entered its 12th day on Wednesday, October 18, several countries across the world condemned Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, accusing it of committing “war crimes” and attempting “genocide”.
Chile’s President Gabriel Boric also condemned Tuesday’s Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza.
Addressing reporters Wednesday during an official visit to China, Boric said nothing justifies “Israel’s barbarity in Gaza in the face of the unacceptable attacks” carried out by the Palestinian group Hamas.
“Israel’s attacks primarily affect unarmed and vulnerable civilian populations, potentially constituting a war crime,” he said.
