Speaking at an event in the capital Madrid, Felipe noted that its consequences are projected globally with “many uncertainties.”
“This did not begin on Oct. 7, but it was when this terrible escalation of violence began with the devastating destruction and humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It has already reached unimaginable levels and is of utmost concern to everyone,” he said.
The PFLP hold the American Administration and the International Community fully responsible for the upcoming Zionist War Crimes (and Crimes Against Humanity) that civilians and displaced people will be exposed to. Especially since the American Administration is aware of the Occupation’s Plans for Rafah, and there is coordination at the highest levels between the two Parties in managing the process.
In response to recent college protests across the nation, U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday said in a brief speech that he supports peaceful protests, but vandalism, violence, hate speech and other chaos had nothing to do with peaceful protests. “Dissent must never lead to disorder,” he said.
When asked whether the protests at American campuses have made him rethink his Middle East policy, Biden said no.
Despite that, the multi-day wave of campus anti-war protests is indeed a manifestation of young Americans’ discontent with how the Biden administration is managing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A recent CNN poll found that 71 percent of American adults surveyed were dissatisfied with the Biden administration’s handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Among those under the age of 35, 81 percent were dissatisfied.
Speaking to a crowd in the capital Bogota, the Colombian president referred to the Israeli government as “genocidal.”
“The era of genocide, of the extermination of an entire people before our eyes, before our humanity, cannot return,” said Petro, adding that if Palestine dies, humanity dies.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz denounced Colombia’s decision. “Relations between Israel and Colombia have always been warm, and no antisemitic and hate-filled president can change that,” he said on X, formerly Twitter.
The Colombian president has expressed his intention to cut off diplomatic ties with Israel on several occasions since the UN Security Council adopted in March a resolution on ceasefire in Gaza.
Colombia recalled its ambassador to Israel in October, a few days after Israel launched military operations in densely-populated areas in Gaza in response to Hamas attack.
“I am deeply alarmed by reports that mass graves have been discovered in several locations in Gaza, including Al Shifa Medical Complex and Nasser Medical Complex. In Nasser alone, over 390 bodies have reportedly been exhumed,” he said.
There are competing narratives around several of these mass graves, including serious allegations that some of those buried were unlawfully killed, he told reporters. “It is imperative that independent international investigators, with forensic expertise, are allowed immediate access to the sites of these mass graves, to establish the precise circumstances under which hundreds of Palestinians lost their lives and were buried, or reburied.”
The situation in Palestine has reached increased genocidal levels, marked by the mass targeting of Palestinian life by killing and displacement; the destruction of social, cultural, and all educational institutions; and the aim to reduce Palestinians to bare life with no political and collective future, added the letter.
“You are leaders in the call for justice with your bodies on your university campuses and in the streets, speaking truth and justice loud and clear. You stand for the courage that is needed to take action strongly for justice and freedom and determinedly against systems of genocide and racism.”
“We know the risks you are taking in the face of the repressive measures that are taken against university spaces built on challenging the powers benefitting from silence.” Added the letter.
