Media Statement: Urgent Call for Jerusalem ElQuds
Urgent Call
Jerusalem ElQuds Statement
Geneva May 10th, 2021
Geneva Council for International Affairs and development / GCIAD condemn the violence against and the displacement of Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces.
In the last month the world has seen a series of serious escalations across the occupied Palestinian territories. This has included demonstrations by extremist far-right groups in Jerusalem chanting “death to Arabs”, forced evictions and displacement of residents in the occupied neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, and brutal attacks by Israeli forces on Al-Aqsa mosque on the final Friday of the holy month of Ramadan.
We urge and call for International community mainly UN security council to immediately act against this violent escalation by Israeli forces, stand up for the inalienable human rights of Palestinians, and actively support the enforcement of international law.
GCIAD is working actively to support development (SDG's) peace and justice and this also means standing with Palestinian communities in this most urgent moment and Leave no one behind.
