RAMALLAH: Deputy Secretary General of Fatah Central Committee Sabri Saidam today called on Germany to exert greater efforts to redress the injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people.
Saidam stated that Israel’s ongoing furious genocidal war on the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip, must be brought to an end, and worldwide states are in fact capable of exerting political, diplomatic, legal and relief efforts to redress the injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people, noting that the most important manifestations of such efforts and a step towards ending the conflict as a whole is the increasing recognition of the Palestinian state.
He made his remarks during a meeting with head of German Representative Office to Palestine, Oliver Owcza, at his office in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah.
Saidam briefed the delegation on the overall situation in the Palestinian Territories, the intra-Palestinian reconciliation efforts and the ongoing Israeli genocidal onslaught on the Gaza Strip.
H
e called on Germany to exert greater efforts towards strengthening Europe’s role in rejecting the injustices inflicted on the Palestinian people, ending the Israel’s genocidal onslaught on the Strip, preventing the forced displacement of Palestinians, commencing Gaza reconstruction as well as towards supporting and enabling the Palestinian Authority to recover its tax revenues withheld by the occupation authorities.
Israel has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.
Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 38,794 Palestinians and injuring over 89,364 others.
Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Palestinian and international organizations sa
y that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
