RABAT, April 29, 2008, (WAFA)-The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) has strongly condemned on Tuesday the horrific massacre perpetrated by the Israeli occupation authorities against the townof Bait Hanoon north of the Gaza Strip, claiming the lives of a Palestinian woman and her four children.

In a communiqué , ISESCO said that the Israeli occupation authorities’ crimes against the Palestinian people and their continuous bombardment and artillery incursions inside the Palestinian territories constitute, in themselves, a plain and strong denunciation of Israel and a breach of international law and the Geneva Convention.

ISESCO stressed that the escalating Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people epitomizes a genuine crime against humanity. The Islamic Organization, made of fifty Member States from the Islamic World, urged the international community to condemn the Israeli crimes and to put pressure on the Israeli government to stop aggressions against the Palestinians.

ISESCO also called upon all countries of the world to support the Palestinian people and its legitimate national leadership to put an end to the Israeli occupation and proclaim its Independent Palestinian State with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
