Gov't: Israel tempted to kill more Palestinians thanks to international silence

[ 07/04/2011 - 09:50 AM ]

GAZA, (PIC)-- The Palestinian government said the international failure to punish Israel for its crimes against the Palestinians would encourage it to commit more, calling for pressuring Israeli leaders to stop their aggression against Gaza.

In a statement issued following its weekly cabinet meeting, the government appealed to the international community to assume its responsibilities and curb Israel's aggressive tendencies towards the Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel is persistent in killing civilians and bombing residential areas in Gaza, although the Palestinian factions has showed restraint and respected the national consensus on the need to retain calm in Gaza for the higher national interest, the statement read.

The statement included condemnation of South African judge Richard Goldstone for his newspaper article on Gaza war which reflected his yielding to Israeli pressures.

The government welcomed the efforts being made to send another Freedom Flotilla aid convoy in the context of international moves to break the blockade on Gaza and called on all parties concerned to facilitate the humanitarian mission of this convoy.
