On July 27th, the Speaker of the Palestinian National Council Rawhi Fattouh has affirmed that targeting and killing Palestinian children is a continuous policy of the racist Israeli occupation.
Fattouh called on the United Nations to put the Israeli occupation on the blacklist of violators of children’s rights.
Fattouh condemned the killing of the 14-year-old Fares Abu Samra by the occupation forces in the city of Qalqilya in the West Bank.
