The Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Sunday that an immediate cease-fire should be agreed in Gaza so that urgent humanitarian concerns can be addressed, Xinhua reported.
"This is an extremely disturbing development," the ministry said, in response to Israeli ground operations in the Gaza Strip, "it can only exacerbate the already grave humanitarian situation."
The ministry said that a cease-fire should be the first step in a process "to ensure that the events that had led to the current situation will not be repeated and to establish a stable modus vivendi in Gaza that is in the best long term interests of both the Palestinian and Israeli peoples."
