Ramallah, December 25 (Pressa Latina) The Palestinian Foreign Ministry today accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of unleashing a war of annihilation against the people of the Gaza Strip.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration condemned in a statement the genocide and massacres committed by that country's army against civilians in the coastal enclave, particularly in the north.
The aim of the operations there is to end the Palestinian presence in the northern area and strengthen control over it, he emphasized.
He also criticized rapes and crimes committed by the military and Jewish settlers in the West Bank, including the occupied East Jerusalem region.
Israel systematically ignores UN Security Council resolutions as well as international calls and demands to protect civilians and end aggression, the text says.
The State Department warned of “the humanitarian catastrophe facing our people in the Gaza Strip, especially women and children.”
It is clear that this country is racing against time to intensify its war and massacres, while trying to impose mechanisms that maintain its occupation in the north of the territory, he stressed.
The aim is to “exterminate the residents of the Gaza Strip and expel those who remain in order to achieve their goals,” he stressed.
