Fattooh strongly denounced the horrible inhumane destruction by Israeli forces which turned the place into a down to earth disaster in al-Zaytoon neighbourhood of Gaza City.... “Demolishing thousands of houses during the last three years in the Occupied Palestinian Territories OPT mostly in Rafah City is part of the ethnic cleansing policy and the state-run terror waged by Israel which is compared to the massacres of1948” he said.... He reiterated that the policy of killing, destruction, assassination and siege would not terrorize the Palestinian people nor would it force the them to make concessions regarding their right of return, right of self-determination, and the establishment of the Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.... Fattooh called on the International Community, mostly the Quartet, to exert pressure on the Israeli government to abide by UN resolutions including provision of international protection to the Palestinian people....
