The ministry urged the international community
to immediately halt the escalation, and provide protection for the brotherly
Palestinian people.
Ministry spokesperson Haitham Abul Foul
warned of the “severe consequences” of the Israeli escalation and terrorizing
of civilians, which will only increase tension and violence and deepen the
environment of despair.
The only way to resolve the dilemma in Gaza
is to find a real political horizon that fosters a return to serious and
effective negotiations on the basis of the two-state solution, lifting the
siege on Gaza, addressing the humanitarian needs, and respecting the rules of
international law and the resolutions of international legitimacy, Abul Foul
said.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Action Front (IAF)
issued a statement on Saturday saying that it is “closely following the brutal
Zionist attack on the Gaza Strip”, which it said began with a “cowardly”
operation targeting Tayseer Al-Jabari, a senior member of Islamic Jihad, and
included raids against Palestinians in the believed Gaza Strip. The IAF condemned
the “blatant Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people” and the
“international silence” on Israeli crimes in the strip.
The IAF saluted the Palestinian resistance groups, which
it said defend the Palestinian people in the face of Israel. It called on Arab
governments “to take immediate and urgent measures to deter the occupation from
continuing its criminal practices against the Palestinian people”.
