In a statement issued here on Monday to mark the 67th anniversary of the massacre at Deir Yassin, the League reiterated its rejection to the Israeli discrimination against the Palestinian people, and stressed the importance of an obvious international move and intervention to halt this policy in order to lay the groundwork for the two-state solution, pursuant to the international law and resolutions, and to provide international protection for the Palestinian people and their resources.
