Lawmakers, diplomats and public figures criticized the international response to the Gaza crisis, calling for stronger coordinated political action and condemning perceived inaction and double standards by global institutions, Anadolu reports.

Parliamentarians, diplomats and public figures from across multiple continents gathered in Brussels on Wednesday for the Global Sumud Parliamentarians Congress, held alongside the ongoing Global Sumud Flotilla, which was launched toward Gaza on April 12.

Participants at the congress voiced strong criticism of the international response to the situation in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories, calling for coordinated political and economic measures.

Francesca Albanese, UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, said the issue is no longer about recognizing Palestinian rights but about enforcing obligations.
