Presidency condemns deadly Israeli massacre in Tulkarm refugee camp

TULKARM: The Palestinian Presidency has strongly condemned the recent Israeli airstrikes on the Tulkarm refugee camp, which resulted in numerous casualties among civilians, including women and children. Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for President Mahmoud Abbas, stated that this massacre is part of a broader pattern of genocide against the Palestinian people in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In his statement, Abu Rudeineh held the Israeli government fully accountable for the "heinous crime" committed against innocent civilians. He emphasized that such acts are part of the ongoing comprehensive war waged by the right-wing Israeli government against Palestinians, further exacerbating regional instability and violence. Abu Rudeineh also called out the U.S. administration, saying it shares responsibility for the continuous aggression against Palestinians over the past year. He urged immediate intervention to halt these Israeli atrocities, which are supported by U.S. military aid and political backing, encouraging further violations of international law. The spokesperson reiterated that the ongoing crimes perpetrated by the Israeli occupation authorities will not bring security or stability to the region. Instead, he asserted that they will lead to more violence and will not force the Palestinian people to relinquish their legitimate rights. He affirmed the resilience of Palestinians, vowing that they will remain steadfast on their land regardless of the consequences. Source: Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA
