Aggression on Gaza Aims to Resume War of Genocide, Ethnic Cleansing: PNCRamallah, 18 Mar (ONA) —- The Palestinian National Council (PNC) has
stated that the aggression unleashed by the Israeli occupation forces
on the Gaza Strip is a war crime and genocide by any standard, aimed
at resuming the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the
Palestinian people.

In a statement, the Chair of the PNC, Rawhi Fattouh, stressed that
the aggression is a crime added to the record of ongoing crimes
against the Palestinians, pointing out that Israel murders children
and women to escape prosecution for corruption cases, perpetuate the
rule of the extreme government, salvage its political future, and
keep its promise to its far-right allies to resume the war of
genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Annihilating dozens of innocent women and children is a stain on the
conscience of humanity and the free world, as well as evidence of
international inertia and numbness in protecting women and children
and imposing the ceasefire, he noted.

Fattouh called on the international community to immediately act and
ramp up pressure on the Israeli occupation to halt this
criminal war and enforce the ceasefire, in addition to upholding its
responsibilities in protecting the Palestinian people amid the
degenerating humanitarian situation in Gaza.
He stated that shuttering the border crossings aggravate the
suffering of the embattled Palestinians, stressing that the world
must act urgently before these crimes morph into a plan of the entire
effacement of the Palestinian people.—- Ends/Khalid
