Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria, Abdullah Shawesh has called on Israel to respect the provision of International Law as no country is above the law.
The Palestinian Ambassador made this known in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
Shawesh said that unfortunately, Israel is treating itself as a state above international law. He noted that International Law must be applicable to everyone.
According to him, International Law might be applicable to African countries, and Asian countries anywhere, and this is because of the wide immunity that Western countries have on top of them.
“Of course, there are states of America. I had been there in the United Nations. I worked for eight years and I can assure you that the Security Council was there, whose main responsibility it is to maintain peace around the world. It was completely paralyzed when it came to Israel and completely neutral when it came to the Israeli act against the Palestinian people,” he said.
“This is because the American veto, the power in the Security Council so that international law is a very important tool and it can be applied for everyone except Israel and this is a profit regarding the chemical weapons. Yes, this is something completely proved by white philosophy” added.
Meanwhile, Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, says Israel is not at war with Palestine but rather with Hamas.
Israel however promised to respond to the recent attack by the Hamas group on its civilian citizens in the country.
