PALESTINE’S Ambassador to Zimbabwe Dr Tamer Almassri has condemned Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza, calling them a “systematic campaign of extermination” against Palestinians.
He said the international community must urgently act to stop Israel’s war crimes and hold it accountable for the suffering of civillians in Gaza.
Ambassador Almassri highlighted the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where over two million people face extreme malnutrition and lack basic necessities such as food, water, medical care and electricity.
“Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war. This is a war crime, and the collective punishment of an entire population is equally unlawful under international law,” he said.
“Israel’s goal is clear. It seeks to divide Gaza into isolated cantons to facilitate its control and occupation of Palestinian land.”
Ambassador Almassri criticised the international community’s failure to hold Israel accountable, particularly the United States and the United Nations.
“The inaction of global powers has emboldened Israel’s fascist leadership to intensify its crimes,” he said.
He called on the United Nations to grant full membership to Palestine and implement binding measures to enforce international law.
He also urged for sanctions against Israel, targeting its leaders and extremist factions.
“The world must stand with Palestine. It is time to hold Israel accountable for its actions and secure a future where justice prevails,” Ambassador Almassri said.
As Gaza’s humanitarian situation deteriorates, Ambassador Almassri urged swift international action to end the suffering and support the Palestinian people’s right to peace and dignity.
