“The international community calls the conflict a consequence of Israel’s continued criminal actions against the Palestinian people,” the report added.
Israel announced on Tuesday that it had regained control of the Gaza border as IDF forces pounded densely populated areas with the heaviest airstrikes in the 75-year history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel has vowed “strong revenge” since gunmen stormed its cities, leaving streets littered with bodies in by far the deadliest attack in its history. He has called in hundreds of thousands of reservists and put the Gaza Strip, where 2.3 million people are affected, under complete siege.

North Korean media said an independent Palestinian state was the “fundamental” solution to the conflict.
Israeli media reported that the death toll from the Hamas attacks had risen to 900 people, mostly civilians killed in their homes, on the streets or at a dance party, dwarfing the scale of any previous attack by Islamists other than 9/11 . Dozens of Israelis were taken to Gaza as hostages, with some marching through the streets.
North Korea has maintained diplomatic relations with Palestinian leaders since 1966.
