Arab organisation demands action to stop Gaza assault

The Council of Arab International Relations (CARINTER) Chairman Mohammad Al-Saqer issued a statement, Monday, demanding immediate international action to stop the bloody Israeli assault on Gaza and the Netanyahu policies of collective punishment.
The statement noted the onslaught on Gaza comes after the Israelis had already put a stick in the wheel and aborted peace efforts and negotiations and ignored all that had been agreed to at the start of the peace process over 20 years ago. CARINTER urged sponsors of the peace agreements between the Palestinians and the Israelis to act swiftly and strongly to stop the assault.
The non-profit also urged the international community and international organizations to condemn the Israeli aggression and issue resolutions to compel Tel Aviv to honor its obligations and to honor Palestinians' rights, most importantly their right to establish an independent viable state with Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as its capital and the right of return.
Al-Saqer stressed it is vital to support Arab action through all political and diplomatic venues accessible to direct effort to such end.
He also made a plea to civil society bodies and official aid agencies to launch campaigns to aid Gazans and alleviate their suffering due to the brutal Israeli attacks, and also demanded all crimes against humanity be documented so that those responsible are held accountable according to relevant international laws and agreements.
