The Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) National Council, Ruhi Fettuh, stated that the call by eight Israeli far-right lawmakers for the complete destruction of food and water resources in the northern Gaza Strip under attack is a war crime. In a written statement, Ruhi Fettuh said, "The Israeli parliament has become a refuge for bloody extremists who are not satisfied with destroying tens of thousands of children and women, but are surprised to see Palestinians alive in the Gaza Strip." "FULLY COMPREHENSIVE WAR CRIME"Fettuh described the call by Israeli lawmakers as "a fully comprehensive war crime and a direct call for genocide against the Palestinian people." The Palestinian official urged the international community and the parliaments of countries to "take on their humanitarian and moral responsibilities against Israel's racist and bloody attitudes." WHAT HAPPENED?Eight Israeli far-right lawmakers had demanded the complete destruction of food and water resources in the northern Gaza Strip under attack. According to a report published yesterday in Haaretz newspaper, eight members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee had sent a letter to Defense Minister Yisrael Katz regarding the situation in Gaza.
