Red Crescent denies Israeli army’s claims over West Bank clashes

Tuesday 12-December-2017

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) denied transporting demonstrators to clash with Israeli occupation forces during West Bank protests rebuffing a claim made by the occupation army earlier Monday.

In a statement PRCS disputed the army’s account of what occurs in a newly-released video saying one of the girls who can be seen exiting the ambulance was receiving medical care.

The PRCS a member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement denied violating the umbrella group’s principle of neutrality.

“PRCS affirms that it abides and shall always abide by its fundamental principles in general and the principles of neutrality and impartiality in particular. PRCS affirms that it has done nothing but discharge its humanitarian mission and provide treatment to those who need it” it said

There have been daily protests by Palestinians in the West Bank following Trump’s recognition last week of Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of the self-proclaimed Israeli state.

In an address last Wednesday from the White House Trump overlooked worldwide warnings and alleged that after repeated failures to achieve peace a new approach was long overdue claiming that his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the seat of Israel’s government is merely based on reality.
