All of the above constitute a highly dangerous escalation of the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
In the light of this, Al-MEZAN center requests the international community to immediately intervene in order to: Put an end to the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian unarmed civilians.
Provide immediate international protection for the Palestinian people.
We, at Al-MEZAN center, warn of the danger of the continued silence of the international community towards the systematic aggression perpetrated by the occupation forces against the Palestinians.
We stress that this has encouraged the Israeli forces to continue their aggression.
Al-MEZAN center requests the international community to exert real efforts in order to provide protection for the Palestinian people.
In the same context, Al-MEZAN center strongly condemns the yesterday’s U.
S.
Veto in the UN Security Council against sending an International Protection Force to the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Al-MEZAN center perceives that this vote constitutes not only support of the Israeli attacks committed against the Palestinian people, but also participation in them.
Besides, Al-MEZAN center requests the countries that support the humanitarian legal rights of the Palestinian people to provide alternative ways for the protection of the unarmed Palestinian people.
