Jordan Slams Israeli Attack On Latin Monastery Church In Gaza
(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency)
Amman, July 17 (Petra) –Jordan strongly condemned the Israeli bombing of the Latin Monastery Church in Gaza, which killed and injured dozens.
The Kingdom views the attack a flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, particularly the 1949 Geneva Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons.
In a statement Thursday, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Dr. Sufian Qudah, said Israel's shelling on the Gaza church is an extension of the extremist policy of the Israeli government, which continues its systematic aggression against innocent civilians in the Palestinian strip.
Qudah urged Israel, the occupying power, to comply with its obligations under international law, particularly international humanitarian law, and specifically refrain from attacking civilian monuments and places of worship in the Gaza Strip "immediately."
Qudah also called for the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities and take an "effective" stance to "immediately" halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
In this regard, he urged the prompt entry of "sufficient and immediate" aid to the strip, which is suffering from an unprecedented humanitarian disaster caused and exacerbated by the Israeli aggression.
