The European Palestinian Council for Political Relations (EUPAC) has sent an urgent letter to senior European Union (EU) officials to brief them on the latest developments in Occupied Jerusalem especially the current Israeli violations at the Aqsa Mosque.
The letter was sent to Josep Borrell the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission Roberta Metsola President of the European Parliament and Manu Pineda President of the European Parliament’s Delegation for relations with Palestine.
EUPAC said that what was happening in recent days at the Aqsa Mosque was an occasion to recall positions issued by Palestinian and European political and human rights groups in Europe that assert that the Israeli government practices all forms of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians seizes their right to self-determination destroys their right to live peacefully and prevents any possibility for a political solution that can be accepted by the Palestinian people.
EUPAC accused the Israeli government of trying to execute its plans against the Aqsa Mosque through its break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque while knowing that the Islamic holy site is like a “volcano that may explode at any moment.”
EUPAC stressed that Israel’s crimes in Palestine entail action to respond to the demands for providing international protection for the Palestinian people and their holy sites under occupation describing that the EU’s condemnation statements and expressions of concern about the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories as “no longer convincing.”
EUPAC urged the EU to be up to their responsibilities and move to prevent the region from slipping into a state of chaos and insecurity end the use of double standards when dealing with Israel and take the necessary punitive measures against it to curb “its crimes that have been ongoing for 75 years.”
