GENEVA, August 2, 2015 (WAFA) – Envoy to the United Nations Human Rights, Ibrahim Khraishi, said the file prepared on the latest settlers’ attack against a family in Nablus, which claimed the life of a toddler and critically injured his entire family, would be submitted to officials of the Human Rights Council, the High Commissioner, and the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday.
Israeli settlers Friday killed an 18-month-old Palestinian baby and seriously injured his entire family, during an arson attack that targeted two homes in the village of Duma, south of Nablus.
In a radio interview, the ambassador urged those in charge for the need to speed up investigation into the attack against the Dawabshe family in Nablus, and to prosecute the perpetrators in order to curb such crimes and attacks committed by Israeli settlers against the Palestinian people.
The conference stipulated that in case of a lack of commitment by the Israeli side, the international community must take punitive measures to rein in the Israeli government’s crimes.
He said ‘we’ are tired of the Israeli policy, which does not take any punitive actions against their settlers’ attacks committed against the Palestinian people with the support and incitement of the Israeli government.
He also noted to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement in March 2014, where he said that he would prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, a statement that the ambassador stressed encourages Israeli extremism.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “promised that no Palestinian state would be established as long as he remains in office, an election-eve reversal aimed at pulling the embattled leader up from behind in a tight race,” reported media outlets.
In an interview with NRG, an online news site, he cautioned that any Israeli leader, who advocates an Israeli withdrawal from the occupied West Bank to establish a Palestinian state was creating a staging area for Islamic extremists to attack Israel.
