PALESTINIAN Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh has called on United Nations bodies, particularly the Children’s Fund (UNICEF), to follow up on the recent Human Rights Watch (HRW) report which says Israel is imposing apartheid and persecution in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.
During a meeting with Ted Chaiban, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Shtayyeh demanded greater efforts by international organisations to prevent Israel’s crimes against Palestinian children and to help stop the regime’s violations of international law and humanitarian principles.
He also stressed the need for the formation of an international front to end the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
