UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - Palestinian Foreign Affairs Minister Riyad Al-Maliki called for international protection of Palestinians and for undertaking action to end Israeli impunity as well as prevent future war crimes and crimes against humanity that are taking place daily amid Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip.
“We need international protection and international action to end impunity, so as to prevent the recurrence of these crimes that occur daily, and in broad daylight,” Al-Maliki stated at a UN Security Council meeting.
On October 7, Palestinian movement Hamas launched a surprise large-scale rocket attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip and breached the border, killing and abducting people.
