Statement of the WPC on the new Israeli aggression against the Palestinian Gaza Strip
The World Peace Council denounces to the peace loving people of the world the recent and ongoing aggression of the Israeli regime and its military against the Palestinian Gaza
strip and its population.
Within short time hundreds of targets, mainly civilians, have been hit by the Israeli military, causing death and destruction to the Palestinian people.
The records of Israel regarding crimes against humanity are full of similar deadly attacks. Nobody really believed that Israel has withdrawn from this part of Palestine, especially now when the heavy military machine of Israel is preparing for a ground invasion again. We remind that the Israeli regime is continuing the occupation of big parts of the West Bank and
East Jerusalem, installing settlements and constructing the separation Wall. The WPC expresses its deep concern and anger since this escalation of Israeli
aggressiveness takes place during a period of growing aggressiveness of the NATO and the USA in the region, which are key allies and protectors of the Israeli occupation forces.
We condemn also the criminal silence of the European Union in its role of accomplice to the Israeli crimes.
We demand the immediate end of the Israeli attacks on the Palestinian Gaza!
We reject the political and military interference in the domestic affairs of Syria!
We fully support the establishment and recognition of an independent State of Palestine, within the borders of 1967 and with East Jerusalem as its capital!
