The Vietnam Committee for Solidarity with the Palestinian people and the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations held a special meeting on Palestine in Hanoi on April 16, vehemently condemning Israel's military attacks on Palestine. The statement says: "We, representatives of the Vietnamese people, strongly condemn Israel's brutal military aggression against the Palestinian people. The Israeli army has killed many civilians including women and children, destroyed public infrastructure works, and laid siege to and intimidated Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. Israel's continuation of its all-out war is an attempt to put an end to the Palestinian State. It threatens the security of the entire Middle East. "We demand that Israel put an immediate end to its military strikes and withdraw at once its troops and weapon from the territories it has occupied in Palestine. We demand that Israel strictly observe principles of International law, the United Nations and the UN Security Council Resolutions on the Middle East, and other international documents on human rights. "We take this opportunity to express the consistent solidarity of the Vietnamese people with the Palestinian people and to assert our firm support for the just struggle of the Palestinian people under the leadership of President Arafat for the right to self-determination for an independent, sovereign state and for the sacred right to live in their motherland." Also today, more than 500 people representing Ho Chi Minh City's people of all walks of life gathered at a meeting at the City's Friendship House to condemn Israel's military attacks on Palestine and to celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the World Peace Movement. The meeting was organised by the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations and the Ho Chi Minh City Peace Committee. The participants also expressed their solidarity with and support for the Palestinian people's just cause led by President Arafat for peace in the Middle East and the world at large. (VNA) **** . .
