“The bombings are against Palestinian civilians, it can’t be described, it breaks everyone’s heart to see how people are treated,” he said.
Israel itself admitted having fired more than four thousand tons of explosives against the Palestinian civilian population and ordered the residents of the Gaza Strip to evacuate their homes, their neighborhoods and their land and move south, he commented.
“In other words, they are calling for more disasters like those of 1948 to end the struggle of the Palestinian people,” the diplomat stressed from his work office in Bogota.
He pointed out that the United Nations, international human rights organizations and the World Health Organization have made it clear that what Israel is doing by cutting off supplies of water, electricity, medicine, fuel and food and using white phosphorus EU is banned UN against the civilian population are war crimes.
“We are facing a humanitarian catastrophe of incredible proportions and unfortunately the Western world is watching this tragedy of the Palestinian people with complicit silence,” he warned.
Regarding the new escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he pointed out that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) is not the Palestinian people as a whole, but that this force is part of a large group of political parties, factions fighting for liberation . of Palestine.
“We as the Palestinian government have chosen the path of negotiations, peace, diplomacy and politics to achieve our goals, namely the creation of the State of Palestine and the liberation of our people,” he stressed.
He said Israel is taking advantage of these events to launch this attack against our people.
“Let us remember what happened in Iraq with the ‘weapons of mass destruction’. The same is being repeated today when it comes to the atrocities committed against civilians, women and children, the existence of which has never been proven,” he warned. .
In this sense, Israel is taking advantage of the current situation and carrying out media propaganda to convince the world that “it has every right to destroy our people,” he claimed.
“That is why we draw the attention of the media and the world public to ensure that the example of Iraq in Gaza or the Nakba of the Palestinian people in 1948 is not repeated.”
It is urgently necessary to “set limits to the occupation, colonization and oppression of the Palestinian people,” demanded the ambassador. “After decades of siege, we cannot lock up two million 200,000 people for so long and expect no response from this population,” he emphasized.
In his opinion, “the world must focus on the Palestinian cause because people are demanding their basic rights: the right to freedom, to self-determination, something simple, simple that every people in the world demands.”
He assured that despite the atrocities, Israel will never be able to stop fighting for the just cause of the Palestinian people.
He denied that Israel was not allowing humanitarian aid through amid this escalation and even threatened Egypt to bomb any truck arriving at the border crossing, which the country did, turning Gaza from a concentration camp into an extermination camp. .
“We ask the international community that what is happening is a reason for the United States and the European Union to turn their attention to the Palestinian people.”
“Let us seize this moment, first, to stop the genocide and, second, to convene an international peace conference for all interested countries, especially the United States, the European Union, Russia, China, Cuba and friendly countries.” “I’m sitting there . to force a peaceful solution and withdrawal from the occupied Palestinian territories on Israel,” he added.
The number of Palestinians killed by Israeli bombings in Gaza rose to 2,215 today, including 724 children and 458 women, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported on Saturday.
The company added that 8,714 people have been injured since hostilities began last Saturday.
This new figure represents an increase of about 300 Palestinian deaths since the Health Ministry’s last report, released last night, after a new wave of Israeli bombings virtually did not stop last week.
