DOHA, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the 10th, calling on the international community to launch an urgent investigation into the Israeli bombing of a school in Gaza City that killed more than 100 people, and requesting the United Nations to send independent investigators to investigate.

The statement condemned Israel's flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions, calling Israel's bombing a "horrible massacre". The statement called on the international community to provide comprehensive protection for the displaced persons to prevent the Israeli army from forcibly expelling them from Gaza.

The media office of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) issued a statement earlier on the 10th saying that the Israeli army bombed a school in Gaza City that morning where a large number of displaced people were living, killing more than 100 people and injuring dozens of others.

The leaders of Qatar, Egypt and the United States said in a joint statement on the evening of the 8th that the leaders of the three countries called on Israel and Hamas to resume negotiations in Doha or Cairo on the 15th to bridge all remaining differences and immediately begin to implement the agreement. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office issued a statement in the early morning of the 9th saying that Israel agreed to resume the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza and planned to send a negotiation delegation on the 15th of this month.
