Likewise, he has stressed that the “aggressive US policy towards Palestine, its people and their legitimate rights represents a clear aggression against International Humanitarian Law, and encourages the continuation of the Israeli genocidal war against” the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, “and pushes the region further to the brink, in light of the continued Israeli occupation.”
