For Ambassador Pérez, Israel is taking advantage “of the current international situation to accelerate its brutal aggression against Palestine, as well as the double standard with which conflicts in the world are approached today: the Palestinian people have suffered more than 70 years from the Israeli policy of apartheid, and deserve justice.”
Rechazamos que Israel se aproveche de la actual coyuntura int. para acelerar su brutal agresión contra Palestina, así como la doble moral con que se abordan hoy los conflictos en el mundo: el Pueblo Palestino ha sufrido +70 años la política israelí de apartheid y merece justicia. https://t.co/Ud7e2BCjvp
