CAIRO, July 20, 2014 (WAFA) – Secretary-General of the League of Arab State, Nabil al-Arabi, said in a statement Sunday that the Israeli massacre in the Gaza neighborhood of Shuja’iyya is a war crime against innocent Palestinians and a dangerous escalation of the situation.

Al-Arabi called for an immediate cessation to the Israeli massacre and ‘barbarous ground incursion’ that is taking place in Shuja’iyya in addition to the ongoing bombardment across Gaza.

He called to provide the necessary protection to the Palestinian civilians, holding Israel fully responsible for this ‘hideous crime’ which claimed the lives of dozens of innocent Palestinians.
