His Excellency Mr Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), condemned in the strongest terms the irresponsible and dangerous statements issued by the Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation forces concerning the displacement of the Palestinian people from their land.
His Excellency considered these statements to be a public call to perpetrate a full-fledged crime of ethnic cleansing and a flagrant violation of all international charters, conventions, and laws.
His Excellency affirmed that such dangerous statements and practices, which are rejected regionally and internationally, demonstrate once again the systematic aggressive approach pursued by the occupation forces to thwart any efforts to achieve a just and comprehensive peace and to undermine the chances of establishing an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Moreover, His Excellency Mr Albudaiwi called upon the international community, in all its parties, to urgently assume its legal and humanitarian responsibilities and to take firm and immediate measures to stop these dangerous practices and statements, prevent an escalation of the situation that threatens regional and global stability, and work to support the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, foremost among them their right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state, based on the Arab Peace Initiative and resolutions of international legitimacy.
