The Arab Parliament called Tuesday, June 6, 2023, on the international community and the Security Council to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its crimes and violations against the Palestinian people, once again calling for urgent international protection.
Marking the 56th anniversary of the Naksa, the Arab Parliament said that this anniversary comes in conjunction with the dangerous and unprecedented escalation of the extreme far-right Israeli government and its settlers against the occupied Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the desecration of Islamic and Christian sanctities.
It added that this anniversary also comes in light of the escalation of illegal Israeli settlement activity through forced displacement, isolation of cities, home demolitions, the expulsion of Palestinians, daily and repeated bloody raids on cities of the West Bank and Jerusalem, and the policy of field executions against Palestinians.
The parliament called on the parliaments and unions around the world to assume their responsibilities to stop the Israeli occupation of Palestine and support the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, in accordance with the rules of international law, international humanitarian law, and the Fourth Geneva Convention, foremost of which is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
On such day in June 1967, Israeli occupation forces started a new aggression against the Arabs and Palestinians, to expand its settlement project and occupy more Palestinian lands, after years of the Nakba war that destroyed hundreds of Palestinian villages and displaced over 750,000 of their owners.
The 1967 Israeli aggression known as Naksa (failure) resulted in the complete destruction of dozens of Palestinian villages, the displacement of thousands of Palestinians, and starting of settlement projects in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
