Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemns Israeli occupation’s recent crimes in Al-Quds and Jenin

International

OCCUPIED AL-QUDS, (ST)_The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to accelerate  the investigation into the Israeli war crimes, and to hold Israeli war criminals to account.

In a statement commenting on Israeli occupation’s assassination of 5 Palestinian citizens early this morning in Al-Quds [Jerusalem] and Jenin, the Ministry said: “This massacre is a new episode in the continuous series of Israeli crimes against our people, which amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. This is an integral part of the crime of ethnic cleansing practiced by successive Israeli governments,” according to WAFA News Agency.

It described the latest killings as “a translation of the positions and statements made publicly by Israeli officials to spread the culture of hatred, racism, occupation, hostility to our Palestinian people and denial of their just and legitimate national rights.”

“Israel’s unceasing crimes prove once again the credibility of the important speech delivered by President Mahmoud Abbas before the UN General Assembly, especially with regard to the demand for the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities towards the suffering of our people living under occupation,” the statement added.

The Ministry affirmed that the Israeli government bears the full responsibility for any consequences that may result from the latest crime.
