Saturday, 3 January 2009Ramallah – Ma’an – More than 60 parliamentarians from different United Kingdom parties signed a memorandum demanding an immediate end to Israeli rocket attacks on Gaza.
The memo called for the international community to exert pressure on Israel, aiming to stop the airstrikes and initiate sanctions on military supplies to Israel.
The document also called for sending urgent humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and to end the humanitarian crisis, which the United Nations says is escalating.
The dozens of parliamentarians sent the memo to Mustafa Al-Barhouthi, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative (PNI) and a former candidate for the Palestinian presidency.
Al-Barhouthi called the move “the beginning of a positive international movement, heading in the right direction, to stop the barbaric Israeli assault on Gaza.” |
