Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Abdullah M. Abu Shawesh.
By ESTHER ALEXANDER, Abuja –
The Palestine Embassy in Nigeria has condemned the United States for supporting Israel’s genocide war against Palestine.
This condemnation comes after Israel confirmed that it has secured an $8.7 billion aid package from the U.S. to support its ongoing military efforts.
The Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria, Abdullah M. Abu Shawesh, in a statement over the weekend in Abuja, accused the U.S. of complicity in Israeli war crimes, including the genocide in Gaza.
Mr. Abu Shawesh said the 363 days of relentless, barbaric, and vicious bombardment with different types of American weapons left behind no less than 41,615 martyrs and 96,359 injured, the vast majority of whom were women and children. 902 families were completely erased from the Palestinian civil registry.
He said.: “Ironically, Israel, the pariah state that was included on the United Nations’ “list of shame” for countries committing “grave violations” against children, the state that uses starvation as a method of war and weaponized water crises among other long list of war crimes, has declared the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres PERSONA NON GRATA and banned him from entering Israel.
“This may be the worst rude farce and dark comedy in political history. In this connection while all the security council members show strong support and full confidence for the SG, only the USA representative sits in silence like a grave.
Despite the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice calling for an end to the transfer of arms, ammunition, and related equipment to Israel, and the resolution adopted by the General Assembly on September 13 that affirmed this demand, “Israel said on Thursday {September 26}, that it had secured an $8.7 billion aid package from the United States to support its ongoing military efforts and maintain a military edge in the region.”
The Palestinian ambassador, therefore, called on the U.S. Govt to stop providing military aid to Israel and to pressure Israel to stop its atrocities against Palestinian civilians.
