In this same context, the Politburo has called on the international community and all active political forces over the world to put more pressure and immediate intervention to protect the Palestinian people from mass killings, deportation and unprecedented genocide in history, this is done in flagrant impotence of UN institutions and the international community to protect Palestinian children and women from barbaric oppression practiced by IDF in full flagrant violation of international and world charters, law and universal human values.
