GAZA, Jun 14 (NNN-WAFA) – Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip, yesterday called for immediate Arab and international interference, to halt Israeli violations against the Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The factions’ leaders made the appeal in a joint press statement, issued after a meeting held in Gaza City, which was initiated by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), to discuss the latest Israeli violations in Palestinian territories.
“The factions conducted a wide evaluation of the aggression and violations taking place, especially in Jerusalem and the West Bank,” Khaled Al-Batsh, a senior member of the PIJ told reporters, after the meeting.
The meeting also discussed the health conditions of two Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, who are on a hunger strike against administrative detention without trial.
The Israeli authorities are fully responsible for the lives of the two Palestinians, Al-Batsh said, calling on all parties and human rights groups, to pressure Israel to respond to their demands for ending administrative detention.
In the statement, the Gaza factions said, “The Israeli attempts to single out Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem, by continuing their aggression and crimes, are rejected.”
“The Palestinians have the right to defend themselves and the right … to confront the Israeli crimes, because resistance in all its forms is a right that will not be abandoned at all costs,” it added.
