RAMALLAH, April 22, 2018 (WAFA) – The Palestinian National Liberation Movement, Fatah, on Saturday strongly condemned the assassination of Palestinian professor and researcher Fadi Albatsh in Malaysia.

Fatah also condemned the ongoing war crimes and “acts of terror” perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces against Palestinian civilians participating in the March of Return in the Gaza Strip.

“His [Albatsh’s] execution indicates that Israel has returned to its policy of assassination in various capitals of the world, which constitutes a major crime and violation of the sovereignty of the state in which the assassination was committed,” a statement by the Media, Culture, and Intellectual Advancement Commission of Fatah read.

Fatah called on the international community to hold Israel accountable and impose necessary punishment for its deliberate killings.”

“There is no room for a balanced position in the face of war crimes and acts of terror. What is required is for the world to abide by and apply the law and confront and punish Israel.”
