CARICOM has joined other international bodies in calling for Israel and Palestine to obey a United Nations Security Council resolution for a ceasefire.
The regional body also wants Israel to pull its forces from the Gaza Strip.
CARICOM said it is no less concerned about the continued firing of rockets into Israeli territory by Palestinian militants.
It is also urging Israel to allow the passage of humanitarian aid to Gaza and for an end to arms trafficking into the area.
