Pan-Arab Parliament Condemns Israel’s Street Execution of Palestinians

Cairo, 26 Jumadil Awwal 1437/06 March 2016 MINA) – Speaker of the Arab Parliament Saturday condemned Israel for executing Palestinian children, women, men and elderly people, in cold blood in the streets.

In a statement, Ahmed Al Jarwan, said, “The savagery of the Israeli occupation cannot be forgiven. Palestinians are being executed in the streets by unleashing torrents of bullets on them and then they are left to bleed to death in the streets.”

These executions, he noted, are based on false suspicions, Mi’Raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) reported, quoting WAM.

“Even if we are to believe the Israeli narrative, it is still a criminal act.”

The international community and human rights organisations that call for an end to executions based on court orders must condemn Israel’s brutal summary street executions, he demanded.

“The international community’s continued silence about the crimes of the Israeli occupation does not serve the peace process; rather it fuels the crisis,” the head of the pan-Arab parliament said.  (R07/R01)
