The has asked the UN chief to put Israel on aÌýlist of actors who breach the rights of children, after recent waves of deadly bombing raids on Gaza and other repression in the occupied West Bank.

Mohammad Shtayyeh made the plea at Monday'sÌýcabinet session, whereÌýhe asked that Secretary-General Antonio GuterresÌýput the "occupier state" ontoÌýthe "", the Anadolu Agency reported.

This is an apparent reference the UN chief's yearly list of children's rights abusers, which includes both governments and other groups.

Israel was not included on the list despite the devastating bombing campaign on Gaza last month, which killed dozens of children.

Shtayyeh : "Israel has never stopped killing our children". He addedÌýthatÌýrecently a boy of 16 was killed by Israeli forces last Thursday.

"Israel must be held accountable for its crimes," he said.

Nevertheless, the UN Secretary-General's list has beenÌýstrongly criticised in some quarters.

The group Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict published report by notable figures in children's rights which looked atÌýthe state of the listÌýbetween 2010 and 2020.

They highlighted that Saudi Arabia'sÌýcoalition was taken off the list for "killing andÌýmaiming" in 2020, even though they were deemed culpable for 222 cases involving a violation in this categoryÌýagainst childrenÌýthe year prior.

Last month, a fatal Israeli bombing campaign against Gaza killed at minimum of 289 people in the Strip, the Anadolu Agency reported.

Among those who perished in the 11-day barrage were 66 children, according to figures from the Gaza-based Ministry of HealthÌýwhen 232 deaths had been recorded.

, as many as 51 schools were physically harmed byÌýbombing. This affected 41,897 young people.

Despite a ceasefire going into effect on 21 May, the Israelis have since launched further attacks against Gaza.

Last week, Israeli forces on two days struck the besieged land strip as designed to burn farmland and bushes were sent from Gaza.

On Monday, Shtayyeh also announced an to look into a botched vaccine deal with Israel.

This saw Israel provide jabs to the Palestinian Authority in an apparent contravention of the terms of their agreement.

The 90,000 Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines were sent back to Israel on Sunday.
