CAIRO - The Arab League (AL) strongly condemned the "Israeli" aggression against the Palestinian areas and urged the international community to speak up against the systematic killing of Palestinians by "Israeli" soldiers.
The AL`s executive office called, in a statement Monday, on all UN offices "specifically the Security Council, and the International Quartet," to adopt a "tough stance in connection with the continued "Israeli" aggression and use of excessive force against unarmed Palestinians." The AL held the international community to blame for the continuation of ‘Israel's' barbaric aggression and its "impact on the stability of the region." The statement stressed that "Israeli" occupation forces "continued their aggression against the Palestinians in complete disregard to UN resolutions and international laws banning the killing of innocent people." The death toll as a result of the aggression in the West Bank and Gaza rose on Saturday to nine killed, including one who died while in detention, and many more injured.
