International Community Condemn latest Israeli Aggression December 5 2001 Palestine Media Center-PMC A considerable number of the world's nations have strongly condemned the recent Israeli attacks on the Palestinian People. According to news agencies, many governments have expressed their anger and disagreement with the latest Israeli military operation, which aims to destroy the Palestinian Leadership and was launched on 3 December. The French Foreign Minister, Mr. Hubert Vedrine slammed the Israeli Prime Minister's position, which alleges that the Palestine National Authority (PNA) a [terror-supporting entity]. He stressed that the Israeli government is adopting a policy that aims to weaken the PNA and render it incapable of doing anything to stop the violence. The French top diplomat also accused Ariel Sharon of trying to eliminate President Yasser Arafat. Turkey's Prime Minister, Mr. Bulent Ecevit warned Israel that its military strikes against Palestinians risked sparking a conflict that could be worse than the war in Afghanistan. He described the latest Israeli strikes as "unjust actions against the Palestinian [National] Authority's territory". In addition, Mr. Ecevit appealed to the United States to step up its efforts to mediate between the parties in order to resolve the current crisis. He stated, "I believe that it will be helpful, and that it is essential, for the United States to enter the arena in a more active and effective way". In another response, Pope John Paul II urged the international community to step in and help Israelis and Palestinians break "this useless spiral of death". The Pope's comments came on 5 December during an address in the Vatican. "Violence never resolves conflicts, but only increases the dramatic consequences", the Pope told the faithful. He added, "With ever greater determination and courage, [the international community] can help the two sides to end the violence and resume peace negotiations". Meanwhile, in the United Nations yesterday, 4 December, the General Assembly adopted a resolution strongly criticizing Israel's policies toward the Palestinians. The key resolution supported Palestinian rights to an independent state on the basis of land for peace and called for an Israeli withdrawal and a return to negotiations on a final peace settlement. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
