Jakarta, 30 Rabi’ul Awwal 1437/10 January 2016 (MINA) –

Jakarta, 30 Rabi al-Awwal 1437/10 January 2016 (MINA) – Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Jawad Awwad has said that the the continuing Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territories, especially the Gaza Strip, is a source of regional and international turmoil.

What was said by Joserizal from the Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MERC) last night in a handover ceremony of the Indonesia Hospital to the Palestinian people was a very critical analysis. The Israel’s actions become a source of chaos in various regions of the world”, he said in an interview with Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) at Hotel Borobudur, Jakarta, on Sunday.

Awwad was here to attend the handover ceremony of the hospital built by the humanitarian organization MERC to the Palestinian people. Also present in the ceremony were Vice President Jusuf Kalla and Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi.

According to him, the analysis is in accordance with what was ever uttered by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. ” The analysis  reminds me of the words of President Abbas in a meeting. The President said that Israel is the
source of all the chaos,” he said.

Israel’s actions have triggered the emergence of terrorist group ISIS. Israeli actions to besiege the Palestinian territories have also led to the birth of various terrorist groups in various parts of the world. If Israel does not commit the heinous act, there will be no terrorist groups and networks in regions throughout the world, ” he added.

Israel has launched malicious attacks against the Palestinian territories, especially the Gaza Strip, in recent years. In mid-2014, Israel military aggression in the Palestinian territories lasted for 51 days, leaving two thousand Palestinians were dead and  tens of thousands others were injured.

Until now, the Israeli authorities are still blockading the Gaza Strip to the outside world. They prohibit the entry of building materials, medicines and other basic goods into the Palestinian territory. (T/P008/R07)
