Alwaght- Lebanese President, Michel Aoun, on Friday vehemently condemned Israeli regime's parliament, Knesset, approval of an Apartheid policy within the framework of the so-called ‘Jewish nation-state’ law.
Aoun said the law is Israeli regime's new aggression against the Palestinian people’s right to decide their own destiny, not to mention enjoy an independent state with Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as its capital.
"This law abolishes the shattered Palestinian people’s right of return and widely opens the door before Jewish migration. This is a blatant violation of UN resolutions which clearly state the Palestinian right of return, with resolution 194 at the forefront,” the President maintained.
"This law, which emphasizes that ‘Israel’ is concerned with preserving the safety of the Jewish people, is blatantly racist, reveals the falsified nature of Israel’s claims as a democratic State and initiates serious measures against the Palestinian presence,” Aoun said, calling upon the Palestinian people to “put political differences aside and join ranks in the face of this existential aggression against them.”
"Is it not high time we achieve Arab solidarity that stands in the face of Israeli practices against the Palestinian entity and safeguards the rights of a brotherly people whose land has been aggressed?” he asked, noting that “international silence over the Israeli escalation against the State of Palestine, its existence and the legitimate right of its people to peace, security and existence on its soil, makes dependence on Arab solidarity in the face of this injustice more urgent and necessary. Otherwise, history will equate Arab silence about Israel’s abuse of land and its injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people.”
Meanwhile, Hezbollah resistance movement also condemned “the racist law passed by the Israeli Knesset, stressing that it comes in the context of the successive steps to Judaize the entire occupied Palestine.
In a statement issued on Friday, Hezbollah stressed that the law passed by Knesset aims at depriving the Palestinian diaspora from returning to homeland and enhancing the process of bring the world Jews to settle in Palestine instead of the native inhabitants.
The statement added that the law passed by the Knesset also aims to consecrate the Judaization of the ‘Hebrew state’ and obliterate the Palestinian cause.
Finally, Hezbollah called on the Palestinians to stick to unity and the path of resistance and Intifada in face of the new Zionist aggression, expressing grief over the weakness of the Arab stance.
“Some Arabs are preoccupied with absurd wars against the liberals in this nation; whereas, they compete to gain the trust of the enemy and serve its interests.”
