Middle East Council of Churches calls for cessation of aggression on Gaza 

The Middle East Council of Churches called for an immediate end to the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the crimes of the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.

“The genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against humanity and the Palestinian people must be immediately and definitively stopped. The necessary and urgent relief and assistance must be sent to the Palestinian  people who suffer  from hunger and displacement,” the Council said in the final statement issued by its regular meeting held in Beirut on Saturday .

The statement appealed to the churches of the world, the international community  “to exert all efforts in order to stop weapons and establish a just and comprehensive peace, through  ending the Israeli occupation and siege which  led to a brutal war that does not respect international conventions that protect hospitals, schools, places of worship and the civilian population,” stressing the need to condemn these inhumane acts.

The  Council also renewed in its statement the call to seek to reduce the suffering of the Syrian people by lifting the imposed economic sanctions,  necessitating  the need to elect a new president for Lebanon and end its crises.

“We hope that peace and security will prevail throughout the world, especially in the Holy Land and in the Middle East, so that  wars may end, and long-standing tribulations and crises  disappear,” the council said in its statement.
