The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said that killing civilians under international cover is considered a war crime, and the international authorization for Netanyahu to commit massacres under the name of “the right to self-defense” makes the international community a partner in these crimes.
The Foreign Ministry added in a press statement on Sunday, “In the context of the international community’s hasty reactions to give Israel a free hand in harassing the Palestinian people, and going so far as to use all of its lethal weapons against them, specifically in the Gaza Strip, we witnessed the beginning of the Israeli retaliatory aggression that targeted residential communities in Various regions of the Gaza Strip, which has so far led to the death of 313 citizens and the injury of about two thousand others, including children and women, large numbers of whom were unarmed civilians, and we have not heard the responses of the international community to that.
She stressed the need to pay close attention to the collective punitive measures imposed by the occupying state against the Palestinian people, not only in the Gaza Strip with its decision to cut off electricity, water, and basic goods, with the aim of starvation, all of which are considered a war crime that is overlooked by the international community, but also what the occupying state is committing in the West Bank. The occupation of the occupied territories committed violations and crimes, completely closing it, and dismembering it by closing the checkpoints spread across the West Bank, preventing the movement of citizens and paralyzing their lives, including closing the Karama crossing, and giving free rein to settler terrorists to commit more crimes against Palestinian villages, towns, camps, and cities, and Palestinian citizens and their vehicles on the streets, which requires Widespread condemnation by the international community so as not to fall into the trap of double standards and political double standards
