The Palestinian National Council (PNC) condemned the continued Israeli terrorism in Gaza Strip, killing 28 Palestinians, including the infant girl Saba Abu Arar (14 months) and her pregnant mother after Israeli killing planes bombed the house they were sheltered in.

In a statement issued today, the Palestinian National Council (PNC) called upon the international community and its institutions, especially the United Nations, to stop the policy of shameful silence on the crimes of the Israeli occupation which targets civilians, destroys residential buildings and infrastructure, panic and terrorizes the Palestinians. This is a serious violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 which is dedicated to protect the civilian persons in time of war, and non-aggression against public and private property.

PNC called on the Secretary-General of the United Nations to expedite taking the necessary measures to implement the United Nations General Assembly resolution adopted a year ago. PNC also called for the protection of our armless people, who are being bombarded by planes, artillery and warships, as well as forcing people to live under siege and colonial settlement in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and is exposed daily to terrorism of the settlers.

PNC called upon the regional and international parliamentary unions including the free world parliaments to declare their position by rejecting and condemning the crimes of the occupation, killing children and women, destroying homes on its safe population, its continued blockade of Gaza Strip and Israeli continued settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories.

PNC affirmed that the Israeli aggression and the declarations of the Trump administration's - The Israeli occupation partner in the terrorism - on the settlement of the conflict (Deal of the Century) are aimed at imposing incomplete solutions on our people and its leadership and accepting agreements that do not depend on the resolutions of international legitimacy which guaranteed the Palestinian right of self-determination and return to homeland, in addition to establishing of an independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital.

PNC stressed that confronting the Israeli-American simultaneous aggression requires not giving the Israeli occupation the opportunity to isolate our trapped people in Gaza Strip and putting them in the position of cheap extortion. PNC called for ending the divide, and work to achieve national reconciliation quickly by implementing the relevant agreements, to enable the Palestinian government to resume its role in serving and defending our people in Gaza Strip.
