Palestinian Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Abdallah Abu Shawesh, has strongly condemned the attack launched on the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, by the Israeli leaders.
The Ambassador who described the campaign launched on the UN Secretary-General as brazen and unjustified, also alleged that the attack on the personality of Guterres was been carried out by the Israeli leaders and their Western supporters.
Shawesh, the Palestinian Ambassador, asserted this in Kaduna on Friday while addressing a Press Conference.
He however, explained that the attack on the UN Secretary-General falls within the policy of silencing, intimidation and terrorism that Israel pursues against everyone who criticizes its behavior and demands the implementation of the International humanitarian law.
While speaking, Shawesh also said: ” the number of the internally displaced persons in the Gaza Strip is about one million and four hundred thousand, displaced with other relative families.
“United Nation schools, mosques, churches and other public places suffered from this attack. More than 181,000 housing units were damaged by the aggression, including more than 27,781 units completely destroyed.
“The moral duty of the media is to present and broadcast reality and the truth, but unfortunately, this was not the case. The majority of the Western media participated in spreading the Israeli propaganda. The death toll among the Palestinian journalists reached 20.
“Yesterday, the Israeli air force deliberately attacked Al Jazeera correspondent Wael Al-Dahdouh’ shome and killed his wife and two of his child. I would like to remind you all that one and half years ago, the Israeli occupation army deliberately assassinated his colleague Shireen Abu Akleh in the occupied West Bank, this is another attempt from Israeli to stifle the voice of truth.
“The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory acknowledged the responsibility of the Israeli occupation army for the martyrdom of Palestinian journalist, Sherine Abu Aqla.
“It is unfortunate that we have all witnessed and are still witnessing the unprecedented pilgrimage of some pro-Israel Western leaders to provide their full military and political support for the current genocide and use extremely unbalanced language in commenting on the currently ongoing war against the Palestinians, giving the Israeli occupation the green light to commit more massacres. This for sure will raise the number of innocent people to be killed on the upcoming days, and increase the mass destruction of the Palestinian homes and infrastructure, alongside the deepening-and enhancing Palestinian human suffering, especially among children and women.
“It’s a wakeup call for all, since accepting the trampling the international law, violating the UN Charter and turningtheir backs to the current massacres against the innocent Palestinian people.
“We should all remember that who is standing with the Israeli occupation today is the classical imperialisms and colonialism that many of south countries suffered from, and using the assets and wealth they have accumulated over decades of stealing from your countries.”
