Minister of Information, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, called today for a unified Arab and Islamic stance to press the US administration to compel Israel to halt its ongoing aggression and massacres against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem.
During his speech as the State of Palestine representative at a conference held in Istanbul, Abu Rudeineh emphasized the importance of consolidating efforts with all international parties “to compel Israel to stop its ferocious war, allow humanitarian, medical, and food aid, and provide water, electricity, and fuel to the entire Gaza Strip, including the northern Gaza region, which is facing a humanitarian catastrophe and a real famine.”
He reiterated the rejection of the displacement of the Palestinian people, whether in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank, including Jerusalem, warning of the consequences of any military offensive by the occupation forces in Rafah, which could lead to a mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from the city.
“Gaza will only be a part of the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, and any plans to the contrary are destined to fail and will not succeed,” he emphasized.
Abu Rudeineh reiterated the rejection of the post-war plans proposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “which aim to deceive the world public opinion and continue the occupation of Palestinian territories, preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state, in defiance of international will.”
He stressed that “ending the Israeli aggression, Palestine obtaining full membership in the United Nations, and embodying the independence of the independent State of Palestine on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, are the real gateway to achieving security and stability for all.”
The Information Minister pointed out that “Jerusalem and its sanctities are witnessing unprecedented violations by the Israeli occupation, the latest of which was the intention of the Israeli occupation to impose restrictions on the entry of worshipers to Al-Aqsa Mosque during the upcoming month of Ramadan, which requires an Arab and Islamic stance in support of our people’s resilience.”
