The Palestinian government has called on the United Nations, UN, to implement international law to secure and save the lives of defenceless people, particularly the Palestinian people.
The Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria, Abdallah Shawesh said this in a statement released in Abuja, Nigeria, against the backdrop of the Israeli Occupation Forces that launched an aggression in the Jenin refugee camp in the early hours of Monday.
He said; “the international community should uphold and stand firm for the implementation of international law, UN resolutions, Human Right Declaration, and the Geneva Convention.”
Ambassador 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.
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.”
The authorities, also called 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.
According to the statement, it is long overdue for the international community to act and take tangible measures to put an end to the silence and constant inaction.”
It said; “The Israeli Occupation Forces launched extensive brutal aggression in the Jenin refugee camp in the early hours of Monday, 4th of July, 2023. The military attacks started with air strikes on many homes and other civilian properties in the densely populated Palestine refugee camp by fully armed ground forces who stormed the refugee camp. This aggression led to the loss of 10 Palestinian souls, other tens wounded and heavy damage to properties and infrastructure.”
The Palestinian Embassy urged the international community to uphold and stand firm for the implementation of international law, UN resolutions, the Human Right Declaration, the Geneva Convention and many other agreed international legal instruments that were created to maintain peace and security all over the world, as well as secure and save the lives of defenceless people, including the Palestinian people.
The statement further tasked the international community to take clear and firm stance, to oppose and force Israel, the occupying Power, to stop its current aggression and attacks on civilians in Jenin refugee camp and to fully respect its obligations under international law as the occupying Power.
“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 statement said.
The embassy also alleged that the latest military aggression came as a result of the incitement campaign led by the current racist and far-right Israeli government.
