AMMAN/DOHA - King Abdullah II of Jordan on Monday stressed that any "scenario or thinking" of reoccupying parts of Gaza or establishing buffer zones there will exacerbate the crisis, the state-run Petra news agency reported.

"This is unacceptable and constitutes an assault on Palestinian rights," the king said, stressing that a serious political process leading to the two-state solution must be launched.

He underlined the importance of the unity of Palestinian territories and supporting the legitimate authority, warning that Gaza should not be isolated from the rest of the Palestinian territories.

The ongoing conflict has killed 11,240 Palestinians in Gaza and about 1,200 people in Israel, according to official figures from both sides

Denouncing the collective punishment, killing of civilians, and destruction of all vital facilities in Gaza, the Jordanian king reaffirmed the root of the crisis is the occupation and the deprivation of Palestinians of their legitimate rights.

Meanwhile, Qatar's Foreign Ministry on Monday strongly condemned the Israeli bombing of the headquarters of the Qatar Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza.

The ministry labeled the attack as "a clear violation of international law and an extension of Israel's approach to targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure," according to its statement.

The ministry said the committee "has worked through its projects to alleviate the suffering of the population in the besieged Gaza Strip due to the long blockade and ongoing aggression."
