Asks New Delhi to live up to its commitments to the cause of Palestine
Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President and MP Srinagar Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday condemned Israel’s recent offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah resulting in multiple casualties.
Condemning the fresh offensive by Israel, Dr. Farooq said, “No condemnation is enough for the massacre being carried out by the Israeli army in Rafah. Such brute aggression and genocidal acts targeted against civilians including children are in gross violation of international humanitarian law. Israel should heed the overwhelming calls of the international community to cease its attacks on innocent people in Gaza particularly in Rafah.”
He further impressed upon the Government of India to show steadfast dedication to the cause of Palestine by extending humanitarian assistance to the war torn people there. “India has always stood with the people of Palestine and now is the time to do it. By doing so India will not only uphold its moral obligations but will also reinforce its status as a beacon of hope and solidarity in the global community,” he said adding that New Delhi should keep with its commitments and ensure that the aggression against the people of Gaza is ceased.
