MANILA, Philippines – Hinimok ni Palestine Ambassador to the Philippines Mounir Anastas ang pamahalaan ng Pilipinas na kumbinsihin ang Israel na resolbahin na ang humanitarian crisis sa Gaza.
Sa panayam ng GMA News, sinabi ni Anastas na ang Pilipinas ay dapat na magbigay ng “pressure” upang ang Israel ”respects the humanitarian question in Gaza especially, and in the West Bank as well.”
”In any case, we are really thankful for the President and the government, since they made several statements asking for a ceasefire and for humanitarian aid to arrive in Gaza. So, the Philippines is doing its best,” ani Anastas.
Sa ikalawang ASEAN–Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit sa Malaysia noong Mayo 27, nagpahayag ng pangamba si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa military operations ng Israel sa Gaza Strip, “which have resulted in the continued rise of the death of civilians, including women and children, and further exacerbating the dire humanitarian situation on the ground.”
Ani Marcos, hinimok ng Pilipinas ang lahat ng mga partido na tumugon sa kanilang obligasyon sa ilalim ng international law, ”with particular emphasis on the protection of civilians, especially women and children, and the facilitation of humanitarian assistance to all those who are in need.”
”Everybody was asking Israel for the ceasefire first and to allow the humanitarian aid to arrive to the population while Israel was using food and water as weapon,” ayon pa kay Anastas.
”It is not only against international humanitarian law but it is also completely immoral, it is inhuman, it is unacceptable.” RNT/JGC
