RAMALLAH, Saturday, October 14, 2023 (WAFA) - The State of Palestine rejects and condemns in the strongest terms Israel’s crimes of transfer and deportations of the Palestinian people in the occupied Gaza Strip, today said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates.

“The Palestinian people are undergoing another Nakba, in full view of the international community,” it said.

“We ask the international community to immediately and urgently intervene to stop Israel’s massacres, carnage, and onslaught. We remind States of their standing legal obligations to respect and ensure respect for international humanitarian law. States must not participate, support, give cover, or engage in the commission of these ongoing crimes.”

The Foreign Ministry welcomed what it described as “the principled position of States who have stood up to international law,” and urged all States “to mobilize all efforts to provide urgent humanitarian funding and supplies, including through UNRWA and the other UN agencies, international organizations, and Palestinian institutions, including the Palestine Red Crescent Society.”

It said, “The Palestinian people must be protected from State terror and crimes against humanity being perpetrated against them by their colonizer and oppressor. Israel’s colonial occupation and abhorrent apartheid regime, including its inhumane blockade on Gaza, must be brought to an end now. This Nakba against the Palestinian people must end.”
