Ramallah - Ma'an - The official spokesman for the presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said that the green light that Netanyahu received from the US administration made him continue his aggression against our people and our land, the latest of which was the hideous massacre that claimed the lives of dozens of martyrs and hundreds of wounded from our people as a result of the occupation army targeting a school that shelters thousands of displaced people in the city of Deir al-Balah, and a field hospital. Abu Rudeineh added that the responsibility for these brutal massacres lies with the American administration and Congress, which applauded and gave political, financial and weapons support to this occupation to continue bombing children, women and the elderly, because it knows in advance that it is protected from punishment, due to the blind and biased support from the American side, especially its recent meetings in Congress. The official spokesman for the presidency pointed out that the occupation violated all t he prohibitions stipulated by international law by bombing a school that shelters defenseless civilians searching for a safe haven, which does not exist in the Gaza Strip after about 10 months of continuous aggression. Every time the occupation bombs a school that shelters displaced persons, we see only some condemnations and denunciations that will not force the occupation to stop its bloody aggression. Abu Rudeineh called on the US administration to force the Israeli occupation, its strategic ally, to stop its aggression, comply with international legitimacy resolutions and international court decisions, and not give it support to continue its brutal crimes, as it bears responsibility for all the aggression taking place in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem.
