Collective action must be taken to hold Israel accountable for its crimes.”The Palestinian envoy accused Israel of deliberately undermining peace efforts through repeated violations of truce agreements.“The fact that Israel has consistently disregarded ceasefire agreements and shown a callous disregard for human life suggests that its ultimate goal is not peace, but the subjugation and humiliation of the Palestinian people,” he said.Ambassador Almassri said the State of Palestine would continue to pursue all diplomatic and legal measures to protect its people and seek justice for victims of the conflict.“We will utilise every available diplomatic and legal avenue to ensure justice for the victims and to end this sustained campaign of aggression.
The bloodshed must stop now,” he said.Leave a ReplyCancel reply
