The International Popular Commission for the Support of Gaza has said that the UN Security Council’s adoption of a resolution on Israel’s settlement construction entails taking swift steps to enforce it and restore the lands of settlements to the Palestinian people.
In press remarks on Saturday head of the commission Issam Yousef called on the Arab and Islamic states to align themselves with the Palestinian cause and help the Palestinian people end the occupation of their land.
“All the Arab countries that Israel occupied their territories fought to regain them and this is considered allegiance to the homeland so no one should deprive the Palestinians of their right to have their homeland back” Yousef said.
He emphasized that resisting the occupation is a legitimate right for any occupied nation and it is guaranteed by relevant UN resolutions.
He urged the Egyptian leadership to support the Palestinian people and their rights affirming that this support would be a bulwark for Egypt and the Arab world.
“Egypt still holds many keys that would help end the blockade on Gaza and reunite the Palestinian people before it is too late” he said.
