The Lower House Palestine Committee decried Israel’s assassinations in Gaza Strip and Palestinian cities, and the settlers’ incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque under occupation forces’ protection. In a statement on Wednesday, the committee’s Chairman, Fayez Basbous, stressed importance of stopping Israel’s escalation in Gaza Strip and Palestinian territories and storming of Jerusalem’s holy sites. Basbous also said these provocative steps are deemed a flagrant violation of international law and historical and legal status quo in occupied Jerusalem and its sanctities. Basbous noted the committee is “closely” following up the current developments in Palestinian cities, the latest was Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip at Tuesday dawn. In this regard, he referred to Israel’s massacre that killed several Palestinians, including children and women, stressing the committee’s support for Jordan’s efforts and its contacts to stop Israeli escalation in Gaza Strip and all occupied Palestinian territories. Warning of Israel’s escalation and its serious consequences, the committee said its aggression would ignite tensions, threaten security and peace and fuel violence, which would lead to a humanitarian catastrophe that Israel’s bears sole responsibility, according to the statement. To boost inter-Palestinian unity, the committee called on the Palestinian people to resume inter-faction coordination and integration to counter Israel’s violations in Palestine.
