Arab Parliament condemns new Israeli agency for displacing Palestinians from Gaza Strip
25 Mar 2025 19:43
CAIRO (WAM) President of the Arab Parliament, Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Yamahi, strongly condemned the Israeli authorities' announcement of the establishment of an agency aimed at displacing Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, in addition to the approval of the separation of 13 settlement outposts in the West Bank in preparation for their legalisation.Mohammed Al Yamah considered these steps a "dangerous escalation'' aimed at emptying Palestinian lands of their indigenous inhabitants and expanding illegal settlement activity.In a statement issued on Tuesday, Al Yamahi affirmed the Arab Parliament's firm rejection of any attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause or impose unjust solutions, stressing that the displacement of Palestinians in all its forms constitutes a crime against humanity under international law and the Geneva Conventions, and a blatant violation of international and humanitarian law.The President of the Arab Parliament called on the international community, the UN Security Council, and international and regional parliaments to assume their legal and moral responsibilities to stop these grave violations against the Palestinian people, to compel Israel to immediately cease its aggression on the Gaza Strip and its dangerous escalation in the occupied West Bank, and to fulfill the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent, sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital.
He also emphasised the Arab Parliament's ongoing efforts to confront Israeli policies aimed at displacing Palestinians and expanding settlements and stressed the need to respect the Palestinian people's right to live in dignity on their land, in accordance with relevant international resolutions.

8 injured after man attacks Colorado crowd with firebombs
At least eight people have been injured after a 45-year-old man threw incendiary devices at demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, during a rally held to remember Israeli hostages held in Gaza, authorities said. Eight victims aged between 52 and 88 years were transported to hospitals, the FBI special agent in charge of the Denver Field Office, Mark Michalek, said. At least one of them was in a critical condition, authorities said. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said it appeared to be "a hate crime given the group that was targetted". Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said he did not believe anyone else was involved. "We're fairly confident we have the lone suspect in custody," he said. The attack took place on the Pearl Street Mall, a popular pedestrian shopping district in the shadow of the University of Colorado, during an event organised by Run for Their Lives, an organisation devoted to drawing attention to the hostages seized in the aftermath of Hamas' 2023 attack on Israel. Brooke Coffman, a 19-year-old at the University of Colorado who witnessed the Boulder incident, said she saw four women lying or sitting on the ground with burns on their legs. One of them appeared to have been badly burned on most of her body and had been wrapped in a flag by someone, she said. The attack follows last month's arrest of a Chicago-born man in the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C.
