Palestinian Embassy in Harare has condemned on Monday, daily Israeli execution of Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
In a statement, the Embassy said Israeli occupation forces have killed a Palestinian citizen almost every day since the start of the year 2023 in addition to home demolitions, dispossession of families, campaigns of incitement and calls for ethnic cleansing.
The Embassy similarly condemned the actions of Jewish supremacist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir who openly calls himself fascist and laments that Ben Gurion “did not finish the job” of extermination of Palestinians during the Nakba. This jeopardized the two-state solution, furthering instability in the region and the world.
“The agenda of this Israeli government represents an existential threat to the Palestinian people, as we can clearly see in its literal translation into actions on the ground, including raiding the Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound, and allowing settlers to attack Muslim and Christian sites and Palestinian civilians.”
The statement comes at a time when Israeli Occupation Forces in the town of Silwad, near the West Bank city of Ramallah, allegedly forced a Palestinian man, Ahmad Kahla, 45, out of his car and shot him. Kahla was allegedly killed in front of his family.
The Palestinian Ambassador Tamer Almassri referred to the executions as “cold-blooded execution”, and called for “prosecuting” the Israeli “criminals who carried out crimes against the Palestinians on a daily basis”.
The statement added: “These latest crimes are a result of the Apartheid State of Israel’s failure to integrate its imported citizens from over 120 nations which has caused racism and competition to adopt the culture of aggression, religious extremism, and violence against the Palestinian people.”
The Embassy said the international community is complicit in its silence over Israel’s atrocities. “The international community’s silence towards the crimes committed against the Palestinian people encourages Israel to continue to implement its colonial agendas which undermine any opportunity to achieve peace and end its occupation and colonization of the land of the State of Palestine. We call on the international community and especially the United States to compel the occupying regime to comply with international resolutions.”
