PNC strongly condemned the assassination of Mr. Bahaa Abul-Atta and his wife at the dawn of 12th of Nov. 2019, as a result of a cowardly Israeli air raid that destroyed his house and followed by subsequent Israeli terroristic raids that resulted in killing (11) and injured tens of Palestinians.

The responsibility of the United Nations Security Council is to intervene immediately, PNC stressed, to stop these aggressive terrorist crimes against Palestinian people in Gaza Strip, and the crimes perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank and the city of Jerusalem. The most recent Israeli crime is killing the martyr Omar Al-Badawi yesterday in Al-Arroub Refugee Camp. PNC is calling for international action to stop the Israeli crimes and terrorism, stressing the right of Palestinian people to defend himself and his rights by all legitimate means.

PNC stressed also that the settlers’ government led by Netanyahu deliberately escalates and exaggerates the bloodshed of Palestinians, through the policy of cowardly assassinations and shelling of residential buildings, in an Israeli attempt to undermine the will of the Palestinian people, block the way to restore Palestinian national unity, and serve internal Israeli goals and agenda.
