South Korea
South Korea, a U.S. ally, issued a statement strongly condemning what it called "indiscriminate" attacks on Israel from Gaza. "The government expresses its deep concern over the large number of civilian casualties caused by these attacks," the statement added.



On the 7th, the government criticized Hamas, the armed political faction that governs the Gaza Strip in Palestine, for carrying out an airstrike against Israel.

"We strongly condemn the indiscriminate attacks against Israel from the Gaza Strip, including rocket attacks" the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a spokesperson statement, and urge them to stop immediately.

Malaysia reaction
Malaysia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded by a tweet of a press release, stating their deep concern over the latest escalation of violence in the Middle East. They call for the further loss of life, suffering, and destruction to be stopped and both parties should exercise utmost restraint and de-escalate.

The MFA states that Palestine has the right to live in a state of peace within its own internationally recognized borders, based on the pre-1967 border, with East Jerusalem as its capital. They also criticize the disproportionate treatment and flagrant hypocrisy in dealing with any regime that practices apartheid and blatantly violates human rights and international law, other than stating that Palestine has been subjected to prolonged illegal occupation, blockade and sufferings, the desecration of the Al-Aqsa, as well as the political of dispossession at the hands of Israel as the occupier.

Official tweet usable as a citation: https://twitter.com/MalaysiaMFA/status/1710912526454788251

Malaysia's Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, states that the international response is biased when it comes to the violence and oppression against the Palestinians. He also mentions Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian land and the consequences of it which leads to the conflict. He also states that Malaysia will keep its solidarity with the Palestinians.

bahrain response
should add the bahraini's forwign ministry response, taken from their website:

The Kingdom of Bahrain is closely following the developments taking place between Palestinian groups and Israeli forces, leading to an increase in violence and armed attacks that claimed the lives of a number of people and injured others. It stresses the need for de-escalation among all parties to preserve the lives of people. 213.137.73.11 (talk) 11:47, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Three additions / suggestions
1.) Please mark French-Guyana as blue, as it is a French territory.

2.) Switzerland made a statement, which can be read here: https://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/en/fdfa/fdfa/aktuell/newsuebersicht/statements/israel.html

3.) I would suggest to rename the „Support Israel“ category into „Condemn attacks“, as this fits more statements by countries. Jexplorer8421 (talk) 21:08, 8 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I guess Nr. 1 and 3 are about the map, which is currently not part of the article. I'll look into Nr. 2. Renerpho (talk) 21:29, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Request on removing the following reference: "[27]巴以冲突，中方表态了：这次我们没站在以色列一边" [In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Chinese side said: this time we are not on the side of Israel]. Toutiao (in Simplified Chinese). October 9, 2023. Retrieved October 9, 2023." This statement/argument is from a video channel neither governmental channel nor major news/media outlet, this video channel is created by a scholar. Maybe improper reference?

Scotland
Humza Yousaf, first minister of Scotland, condemned the actions of Hamas and stated that his in-laws are "trapped" in Gaza (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-67057367). Relevant because his wife is Palestinian. He also tweeted that his "thoughts and prayers are with those caught up in the situation" (https://twitter.com/HumzaYousaf/status/1710653011125502380) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haidetsu14 (talk • contribs) 15:03, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
