GCC condemns Israeli crimes against Palestinians

RIYADH, Oct 13 (KUNA) -- GCC Secretary-General Abdullatif Al-Zayani on Tuesday emphatically condemned horrible crimes committed by Israeli occupying forces and settlers against Palestinian people.
Al-Zayani said in a press statement violent and barbaric practices by Israeli soldiers against disarmed Palestinians would further complicate the situation in all occupied Palestinian territories and bring no security and peace to Israelis.
He denounced Israel's continuing aggressions on Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem, warning that Israel should be aware that Al-Aqsa Mosque is one of the holiest sites for Muslims who categorically reject any desecration against Al-Aqsa and other sites.
Israeli's violations of Palestinian human rights and continued usurpation of Palestinians lands as well as building of new settlements run counter with international laws and heavenly religions, he said.
The GCC chief urged the international community to intervene to protect the Palestinian people and stop Israeli attacks in occupied Palestinian territories. (end) yms.mt
