Arab Parliament condemns the international silence over the Israeli massacres in Gaza

The Arab Parliament condemned the international silence regarding the heinous massacres committed by the Israeli enemy in Gaza Strip, stressing that failure to take a firm stance is a disgrace and shame on the major powers, and evidence of double standards, which has encouraged the occupation’s continuation of its crimes.

Adel Al-Asoumi, Speaker of the Arab Parliament, said in his speech today during the Palestine Committee meeting at the Parliament headquarters in Cairo: The occupation is waging a comprehensive war of genocide and committing mass massacres against the Palestinian people, pointing out that what happened at the Al-Mamadani “Baptist” Hospital in Gaza is genocide, a war crime, and a serious violation of international law and humanitarian principles.

Al-Asomi called for an end to the Israeli aggression and massacres that Gaza is being subjected to and for the introduction of humanitarian and relief aid to the Palestinian people. He said that “what is happening is dragging the region into a war zone, which is unacceptable, and we have warned against it many times”.

Al-Asomi referred to the need to address parliaments so as to stop the aggression, and said: “The time has come to take measures in order to stop the massacres and take the necessary measures to punish those responsible for them.

 The Arab Parliament renews the demand for the international community to bear its responsibility, and to work to establish a Palestinian state. It is not reasonable for the owner of the land to be displaced and replaced by a settler, so rights must be restored for the later lawful return of refugees.

Al-Asomi added, “We will stand with all our strength and efforts with the Palestinians and their cause, as it is a humanitarian issue. The Arab position is clear and Palestine will remain steadfast,” calling at the same time on the Arab people to decisively boycott the products of the countries that support the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
