CAIRO: Secretary-General of Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit has strongly condemned the military operation started by the Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 11 Palestinians, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Wednesday.
In a statement, Aboul Gheit also denounced the imposition of a comprehensive blockade on major cities and wide areas in the West Bank.
“The brutal incursions and attacks, and the killing operations” carried out by the occupation in northern West Bank cities, as well as the destruction of infrastructure and the siege of hospitals, “represent a dangerous trend aimed at subjugating the Palestinian people, overturning the remnants of signed agreements, and re-annexing Palestinian lands in implementation of the agenda of the extreme right-wing,” he said.
Aboul Gheit went on to say that the Israeli occupation is waging a war of extermination against the people of Palestine everywhere and that the latest Israeli operation in the West Bank is not related to the October 7 attacks but to make the life of Palestinians impossible on their land, whether in the West Bank or the occupied Gaza Strip.
He stressed that the global community cannot remain silent in the face of this escalation. He also emphasized that the United States has failed to put the appropriate pressure on the Israeli occupation and has succumbed to its maneuvers and the procrastination of its leaders without any real intention to reach a peace agreement to end the aggressive war on Gaza. Aboul Gheit called on the U.S. to adopt a clear position on the latest Israeli military operation in the West Bank.
