Call Israeli army to order-Palestine govt. urges International Community
Joel Oladele, Abuja
The Palestinian Government has urged the International Community to call the Israeli Government to order over the killing of defenseless citizens.
The Ambassador of Palestine to Nigeria, Abdallah Abu Shawesh made this appeal known in a press statement made available to journalists on Tuesday in Abuja.
He noted that the call became imperative due to the Israeli Occupation Forces launching a wide and extensive brutal aggression in Jenin refugee camp.
Shawesh therefore called on the United Nations to implement international law to secure and save the lives of defenceless people, particularly the Palestinian people.
According to the Ambassador, the military attacks started with air strikes on many homes and other civilian properties in the densely populated Palestine refugee camp by a fully armed ground force that stormed the refugee camp.
“This aggression led to the loss of ten Palestinian souls, other tens wounded and heavy damage to properties and infrastructure.”
Shawesh said the international community should also take a clear and firm stance to oppose and enforce Israel, the occupying Power, to stop its current aggression and attacks on civilians in the Jenin refugee camp and to fully respect its obligations under international law as the occupying power.
He further alleged that it is evident that Israel’s sole and predominant choice is war, trampling international law and trifling all UN resolutions, and is in pursuant of a military solution, and constantly attempting to get rid of the Palestinian people from their ancient homeland by forcing them to surrender to its tyrannical messianic apartheid regime.
“The latest military aggression came as a result of the incitement campaign led by the current racist and far-right Israeli government.
“The clear double standards used by the international community gives the green light for Israel, the occupying Power, to commit more crimes and more killing of the Palestinian people.
“We call for real and effective legal and diplomatic measures against Israel, the occupying Power, similar to what had been taken in other parts of the world.
“It’s long overdue for the international community to act immediately, and to take tangible measures to put an end to the shameful silence and constant inaction.” He lamented
