In an interview with an Egyptian television channel, the deputy secretary general of this organization, Hossam Zaki, stressed that the main goal at the moment is to stop the aggression against the area, where 2,329 people died after nine days of bombing.
Our main priorities now are ending the violence and providing humanitarian assistance, he stressed.
Zaki rejected Israel’s order to expel more than a million Palestinians from the northern strip as part of its plans to launch a large-scale ground invasion.
“This is something that cannot be tolerated,” said the official, who called on the UN and European Union to stop these actions.
The aim of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is to drive Palestinians into Egypt, Zaki said, after recalling that the authorities in Cairo had warned that they would not tolerate such a measure.
He stressed that international law prohibits attacks on civilians and assured that these “crimes cannot be tolerated or accepted.”
