The Palestinian government stated that it Israel is “fully responsible for the repercussion of its criminal and ongoing assault against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip that has resulted in a high death toll among civilians, including four children.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, in a statement, said that Israel “targeted families in their sleep with devastating consequences.”
“This targeting of civilians is an abhorrent crime that cannot and must not be excused or whitewashed,” the ministry said.
“The exchange of congratulations among senior Israeli officials for this assault must be unequivocally deplored as a shocking display of racist inhumanity,” it said.
The Ministry said that “such criminal actions are borne of the impunity resulting from the persistent and inexcusable international shielding of Israel from any form of accountability.”
“This tragic pattern of criminality and impunity must come to an end,” the ministry said.
The Ministry called on “States to uphold their political and legal responsibilities to hold Israel accountable, in line with international law.”
“Palestine will work with responsible international partners to halt this aggression and provide protection to the Palestinian,” the Ministry said.
