Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative (PNI) Dr. Mustafa Barghouti said the criminal Israeli attack on Lebanon, which resulted in the martyrdom of about 10 citizens and the injury of thousands of others, is a terrorist act and an attack on innocent civilians before fighters.
He said it represents the implementation of the conspiracy of the Prime Minister of the Zionist occupation Benjamin Netanyahu and his fascist government. He added it aims to ignite a comprehensive war on Lebanon and drag the region into a regional war and prevent reaching an agreement to stop the war of extermination on the Gaza Strip.
Barghouti added to Jordan24 Netanyahu would not have dared to commit all these crimes without the absolute American support and Western silence on the war crimes he is committing.
The head of the PNI added Netanyahu will fail in the face of the steadfastness and resistance of the peoples of the region, especially the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples, and his plans will be shattered and destroyed as the conspiracies of the aggressors who preceded him were shattered.
Barghouti criticized the shameful Arab and international silence on the crimes committed by the occupation in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, which will lead to the outbreak of a regional war and ignite the entire region if it continues.
Barghouti called on free countries to pressure the International Criminal Court to investigate the crimes committed by the occupation, the latest of which was yesterday, especially since it affected thousands of Lebanese citizens and is considered a blatant attack on the sovereignty of the Lebanese state.
