Foreign ministers from the Gulf Co-operation Council, in a letter to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, have condemned comments by Israeli Finance Minister Bezlalel Smotrich.
The letter, released on Sunday, follows provocative statements by Mr Smotrich, who has been widely condemned for claiming there is no such thing as Palestinian people and saying a Palestinian town should be “wiped out.”
In the letter, the foreign ministers call on Mr Blinken to “respond to all measures and statements that target the Palestinian people.”
