They also demanded that the international community intervene immediately in order to rein in the Israeli army’s crimes and provide protection for our people in light of the crimes that the occupation has committed in the past 24 hours.
PLO Executive Committee member [and head of the PLO Department of Diplomacy and Public Policy] Dr. Hanan Ashrawi condemned the series of war crimes that Israel is committing against the members of our unarmed people, the last of which was the killing and execution of three citizens in cold blood in the West Bank and Jerusalem, while openly and intentionally violating all of the international and humanitarian conventions and laws…
In Ramallah and El-Bireh, the Fatah Shabiba [Youth] Movement in the district called on its members and supporters to stand against the occupation forces in all of the areas of friction and to unite around the members of our people against the Israeli occupation’s aggression and the settler gangs’ crimes in the district.
In a statement yesterday, Thursday [Dec. 13, 2018], Shabiba eulogized our people’s heroic Martyrs Saleh Barghouti, Ashraf Na’alwa, and Majdi Mteir, who ascended to Heaven after being executed by the occupation’s soldiers.
Shabiba called on our people to unite and close ranks at this critical juncture that our people is experiencing, and condemned all of the racist crimes against the members of our Palestinian people by the settler gangs, which merit protection by the occupation state’s arms.”
