THE Palestine envoy in Zimbabwe, Dr Tamer Almassri has slammed recent threats by Israel to use an atomic bomb on citizens in Gaza urging the global community to consider the statements as a clear intention for ethnic cleansing.
The envoy described recent threats made by the Israeli Minister of Heritage, Amichai Eliyahu as “barbaric , fascist, ultranationalist and deserving condemnation.
“The state of Palestine considers this as a declaration and clear acknowledgment of the genocide and ethnic cleansing the occupying state is executing against our oppressed people throughout the Palestinian geography.
“The apartheid state of Israel has so far dropped an equivalent to two nuclear bombs on Gaza since October 7 killing over 10,000 Palestinians, 70% are children, women and elderly by American weapons and political support,” said Almassri.
He noted that the reckless statement of the fascist Minister Eliyahu translates to the war of extermination that Israel has been waging on the Gaza Strip for the past 30 days and the tons of bombs and explosives that it drops daily on the heads of families safe inside their homes.
Almassri said the utterances are also a confirmation that Israel houses nuclear weapons which threatens regional and global security hence the international community has to stop doubles standards to remove these Israeli nuclear threats.
Said the top envoy, “The state of Palestine confirms that the calls of the fascist Minister Eliyahu are an extension of the Israeli positions and policy that denies the presence of the Palestinian people and their rights on their land which is a flagrant violation of internal law and humanitarian law.
“The massacres committed daily against civilians in the Gaza Strip and Westbank are a clear reflection of the incitement campaigns advocated by the extremist government officials of apartheid Israel to destroy the Gaza Strip and displace its population.”
He said the international community should issue strong warning to Israel to prevent it from using its nuclear weapons against our innocent people and force it to sign a non-proliferation treaty underscoring that the failure to stop Israel from using its nuclear weapons puts the world at the brink of a nuclear threat or another world war.
“ Eliyahu’s statement is an extension of the extremist terrorist ideology, and we urge the international community to condemn them and take effective measures to stop the Israeli military aggression, daily massacres, and genocide committed against the Palestinian people,” Almassri added.
