Geneva – The protests started by Palestinians in Gaza near the Israel border have entered their fourth week. If a political solution is not found to the issue at the earliest, it could soon escalate into a war between Israel and Gaza, warned Nickolay Mladenov, UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process.
39 have been killed so far in the crackdown initiated by the Israeli security agencies against the protests which were started on 30th March 2018 by Hamas near the Israeli border with Gaza. The Palestinian health officials have reported 5,511 of their people to have been injured in the crackdown. Alternately, Israel has said that more than half the protestors killed were Hamas terrorists.
Warning of continuing with the protests that have reached their fourth week, another batch of Hamas protestors hit the Israeli border yesterday. The UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Mladenov has expressed grave concerns at the protests happening at the Israeli border.
‘It is just as we hold talks that Gaza is witnessing explosions at various levels. Hence if the international community fails to find a solution to stop the protests that the Palestinians are undertaking near the Gaza border then a new war could break between Israel and Gaza and the Palestinians in Gaza will have to face serious repercussions, warned Nickolay Mladenov.
Hamas using children as ‘cannon fodder’ for spreading terrorism, alleges Nikki Haley
Nikki Haley, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, alleged Hamas of using child soldiers for its anti-Israel demonstrations in Gaza and also for spreading terrorism. Haley also demanded to have an independent inquiry being conducted into the Gaza protests.
‘Hamas is using children like cannon fodder to try realizing their sinister goals. Those who really care for children must try to stop these activities of Hamas’, said Haley. In the meantime, there are reports of two Palestinians having been arrested with pipe bombs as they tried to cross the Israeli border while trying to infiltrate into Israel.
