GAZA (PIC)– The Hamas-affiliated change and reform parliamentary bloc on Saturday appreciated Mauritania’s decision to close the Israeli embassy in Nouakchott and to expel its diplomats.
The bloc said in a statement that the “courageous” step followed a declaration last January of suspending relations with Israel in protest over the Israeli war on Gaza Strip that did not spare women or children in its ruthless offensive.
It asked the Mauritanian president to adopt more practical steps to bridle the Israeli “arrogance” that surpassed all red lines and committed the most brutal crimes against civilians noting that the Israeli war on Gaza in late December and early January killed 1500 Palestinians mostly civilians and wounded more than 5000 others many of them in serious conditions.
