Occupied Jerusalem-SANA
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the international community to take decisive measures to provide protection for the Palestinian people, especially children, and to work to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its crimes and to include it on the blacklist of groups that commit grave violations of children's rights.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs clarified in a statement today, reported by Wafa Agency, that the failure to include the Israeli occupation on the blacklist of perpetrators of grave violations of children's rights in the report of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, which will be issued soon, is a bias towards the occupation criminals and ensures their impunity.
The Foreign Ministry indicated that the specialized United Nations institutions, including the United Nations Children's Fund "UNICEF" and other international bodies, acknowledged in their reports that "Israel" committed crimes against Palestinian children, and expressed the need to include the occupation forces and settlers on the blacklist, and that it was they who set standards for measuring violations Children’s rights in armed conflicts, all of which were deliberately committed by “Israel”, as stated in Security Council Resolution 1612, including killing children, targeting schools, shelters, and hospitals, and making arrests.
The Foreign Ministry called on the Secretary-General not to compromise the principles on which the United Nations was founded, because the martyrdom of hundreds of children, including only 73 children, since the beginning of this year, and the targeting of thousands of schools and health centers in the recent aggression against the Palestinian people constitutes a grave crime that calls for the blacklisting of the occupation.
