The Embassy of the state of Palestine in Harare condemns in the strongest terms the heinous crimes committed by the Israeli apartheid occupation army against its people in the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Embassy reported that the crimes have led to the death of 12 martyrs, which include 4 children, 4 women, and unarmed civilians, in addition to dozens of seriously injured. The overnight series of Israeli airstrikes targeted several homes and residential buildings ushering in a new aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip.
Speaking to Spiked Online Media, HE Tamer Almassri, the Ambassador of Palestine to Zimbabwe, said the Israeli apartheid government is exporting its domestic crises to the Palestinian arena at the expense of the rights of their people.
“Whenever the Israeli government faces domestic difficulties, it resorts to the escalation of its crimes against the Palestinian people. We hold the Israeli government fully and directly responsible for this aggression and its consequences as this is a dangerous escalation that threatens peace in the Middle East. The Palestinian people will defend themselves by all means necessary that are permitted by international law in fighting this brutal apartheid government.
“The latest crime is a continuity of Israel’s series of ongoing aggression on the Palestinian people, as well as an act of war. This should not be tolerated by any progressive state. These killings are the consequence of the regular resort to lethal force by Israeli apartheid security forces against Palestinians and the total lack of accountability for the killings of Palestinians.
“The State of Palestine calls on the international community to intervene urgently to stop the aggression against our people and hold Israel accountable for the violations and crimes that our people are subjected to. We, therefore, call on the progressive peoples, governments, and human rights organizations to condemn these heinous crimes and protect our people,” Ambassador Almassri said.
