TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
In an exclusive interview with Palestine Deep Dive, esteemed Palestinian politician, activist and scholar, Dr Hanan Ashrawi, reacts to Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, following Benjamin Netanyahu's deliberate breaking of the ceasefire.
Speaking to former UN staffer and journalist, Mark Seddon, Dr Ashrawi, weighs in on the West's role in this campaign of extermination and focuses in particular on the role being played by Keir Starmer's Labour Government, saying,
“Exactly I think accountability should be applied across the board; it is not just Israel that is carrying out a genocide, those governments that are continuing to supply it with weapons and continuing to allow it to use its bases, like the British base in Cyprus, those governments that are supplying it with intelligence like the British government. So these people are definitely complicit in the genocide itself, and they cannot escape it. Sooner or later they will have to be held to account. There will be consequences, they cannot continue with this disguising reality and attempting to circumvent what is happening and so on. This complicity now is very clear. And they have to understand, that they will be considered part of a genocide that took place. And right now they might be able to intimidate, maybe, the ICC or the ICJ but I think at one point they will see themselves also held accountable before these international courts.”
She also has words of warning for the leaders of the Arab World, who continue to fail the Palestinian people in this their hour of desperate need.
