Al-Ghanim stresses necessity to advance support for Palestinian people

KUWAIT, April 15 (KUNA) -- National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Ali Al-Ghanim on Friday stressed the necessity of solidarity with the Palestinian people under occupation and supporting them with any effort, even symbolic, to advance their cause.
Al-Ghanim's series of tweets were published by Al-Ghanim through his official account on the social networking site (Twitter), following the Israeli occupation authorities' storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque at dawn today and attacking worshipers, which led to injuries and the arrest of others. The parliament speaker said that what is happening in the city of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque is evidence that the terms struggle, support and solidarity have not died but are keywords articulated to obtain the inherent rights of the Palestinian people. Al-Ghanim added that what is happening "is a daily and repeated testimony to the downfall of all the arguments and political discourse that prevailed for 30 years and promoted false peace, imaginary coexistence, and the arrangements of the so-called new international order." He stressed the necessity of "not witholding any effort from our people under occupation, even if it is symbolic, to advance their cause and ours at the level of the entire world, and to affirm our solidarity and support for them on a daily and permanent basis, and to expose the dirty practices of the occupation in all available forums." The Israeli occupation authorities stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, attacked the civilians, injuring about 150 people. About 450 others were arrested in the context of an Israeli escalation that has continued in the occupied Palestinian territories for days. (end) msa.ns.ara
