RAMALLAH, September 17, 2016 (WAFA) - The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) has condemned on Saturday what it described as Israel‘s extra-judicial killings of Palestinians and a Jordanian citizen.
"Israel is flagrantly employing a systematic and willful policy of summary executions against the Palestinian people,” said PLO Executive Committee Member Hanan Ashrawi in a statement.
“Such provocative acts are in direct violation of international law and conventions,” she said.
Ashrawi accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and “his right-wing extremist government” of “creating a culture of violence, intimidation and lawlessness that is destroying the chances for peace.”
She warned that “their volatile actions threaten to plunge the entire region into further instability, extremism and chaos.”
The PLO official called on the international community “to engage rapidly and effectively and to hold Israel accountable with punitive measures before it is too late."
