GAZA, (PIC)–
The Hamas Movement hailed UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon
for his criticism of the Israeli violations in the occupied
Palestinian territories as a “step in the right
direction.”
“The remarks that were made by the UN
secretary-general Ban Ki-moon in which he slammed the
Zionist entity for its crimes against the Palestinian people
and its mass punishment of Gaza people are steps in the
right direction taken by a high-level UN official,” senior
Hamas official Salah Al-Bardawil stated in a press release
on Saturday.
Bardawil emphasized that the UN and its
institutions must translate these words into action so as to
protect the victims and restore their rights in accordance
with the UN charter.
In a report issued by the UN, Ki-moon said Israel’s violations including its settlement activities and acts of violence in the occupied Palestinian territories are disturbing and detrimental to the peace process.
He said that the economic and social repercussions of the Israeli occupation cannot be tolerated and called on Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian lands.
