Palestinian official says Gaza aid strike a 'deliberate war crime'
Rawhi Fattouh, speaker of the Palestinian National Council, has condemned the killing of over 27 Palestinians in an Israeli strike on Salah al-Din Street in central Gaza, calling it a 'new war crime' added to the occupation's 'bloody record'. Fattouh said Israeli forces targeted civilians as they waited for food aid, wounding dozens and turning a site meant for relief into what he called an 'open field of death,' the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. 'Never in the history of war have pain and hunger been turned into tools for mass murder, aid used as bait for death, and food distribution centres turned into arenas for mass executions,' he said in a press statement. He accused Israel of deliberately transforming aid convoys into 'death traps,' saying the attack was carried out with 'American cover and international silence.' 'This complex crime reveals complete complicity between the occupation army and its American backer in the killing of innocent civilians,' he said, calling the attack a violation of international humanitarian law. Fattouh urged the UN and International Criminal Court to launch an immediate investigation and called on people worldwide to take to the streets to protest what he called 'planned crimes' and a 'genocidal war' against the Palestinian people.

Palestinian National Council Calls For Urgent Relief For Gaza Strip
RAMALLAH, June 22 (Bernama-QNA) -- The Palestinian National Council (PNC) on Sunday called on international, regional, and Arab parliaments to take urgent action to protect the Palestinian people and provide urgent relief to the Gaza Strip amid the worsening humanitarian disaster resulting from the ongoing Israeli aggression. Qatar News Agency reported that PNC Speaker Rawhi Fattouh emphasised that the Gaza Strip is witnessing unprecedented humanitarian conditions, including mass deaths from bombing, hunger, thirst, displacement, lack of treatment, and the complete collapse of the health system. Fattouh pointed out that all cities and towns in the Gaza Strip, from Rafah to Beit Hanoun, from Gaza to Khan Yunis, have become a disaster zone, overcrowded with displaced people who are being hunted by death even in their makeshift shelters and at food distribution centres, which have turned into direct targets for killing.

Fattouh: Occupation's massacre of Khader family in Jabalia crime of genocide against humanity
Ramallah-Saba: Palestinian National Council Chairman Rawhi Fattouh has affirmed that the Israeli occupation's massacre of the Khader family in Jabalia camp, which claimed the lives of more than 40 martyrs, including doctors, engineers, academics, and children, is a crime of genocide against humanity and a deliberate act of ethnic cleansing aimed at erasing Palestinian families from the civil registry, a scene reminiscent of the most horrific crimes in modern history. Fattouh explained in a statement issued by the Palestinian National Council on Saturday: "We remind the world that self-defense does not involve killing and wounding more than 50,000 children, destroying homes over their residents, or erasing Palestinian families from the civil registry. These crimes represent the height of organized terrorism practiced by the criminal terrorist government." He pointed out that the United States bears direct responsibility for the continuation of these massacres through its political and diplomatic protection of the terrorist government and its repeated obstruction of any Security Council resolutions aimed at halting the aggression and imposing accountability. Fattouh emphasized that this blatant American bias not only prolongs the war, but also directly encourages the commission of further crimes and undermines any hope of achieving justice or peace in the region. He concluded by saying that the international community's silence in the face of these crimes amounts to complicity in the crime. Security and stability will not be achieved as long as the Israeli killing machine operates unchecked and as long as the major powers collude through silence or political cover, contenting themselves with verbal statements for 608 days, during which tens of thousands of innocent victims have been victims.
