PLO official Says Sharon Is a War Criminal
After a meeting with the Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa the chairman of the PLO Political Bureau, Farouq Khadoumi, told reporters that Sharon has committed widespread crimes against Palestinian people and refugees in the Gaza City therefore he should be tried as a war criminal.
Khadoumi said that Intifada is the legitimate right of Palestinian people because the Zionist regime is continuing its terror activities against Palestinian people.
A cycle of retaliatory violence erupted in the occupied territories when just shortly after the Aqaba international peace summit on June 4 Israel attacked the Palestinian leaders and houses and openly announced an all-out drive to crush Hamas.
The Palestinian territories are still occupied by the Zionists and a number of UN resolutions call on Israel to pull out of these lands but the Zionist officials have ignored them, he said.
Coming under the Zionists’ violent attacks the Palestinians have no choice but to continue resistance in order to force Israel out of the occupied territories, he commented.
Khadoumi welcomed a proposal by Moussa who called on the UN to send international peacekeeper to the occupied territories to prevent further violence.
Israel opposes the deployment of international peacekeeping forces.
