A Swiss delegation including lawmakers said during a visit to the Gaza Strip on Saturday that Israel committed war crimes in every sense of the word, stressing that it would report on and expose the atrocities that happened in Gaza. In a meeting with Palestinian lawmakers Ismail Al-Ashqar and Salem Salama, the visiting delegation strongly condemned the assassination of interior minister Sa'eed Siyam as a heinous crime and conveyed the Swiss and European parliaments' solidarity with the PLC and their rejection of all Israeli violations against Palestinian lawmakers.
For his part, MP Ashqar expressed the PLC's shock and dismay at the official European position in support of the Israeli criminal war on the Palestinian people in Gaza, which claimed the lives of more than 1,300 citizens and led to the injury of thousands, noting that this position gave Israel the pretext to persist in its war on Gaza.
The lawmaker underlined that Israel felt satisfied with the Arab and European positions and the full American support during its war which made it continue its genocide against the Gaza people. Ashqar called on the Swiss and European parliaments to pressure their countries to arrest Israeli leaders and officers responsible for committing war crimes in Gaza in order to prosecute them in the international criminal court. The Swiss delegation is expected to be in Gaza for another day to visit different bombed areas and eyewitness the impacts of the Israeli aggression on Gaza in order to report about Israel's crimes and the results of its war to the Swiss and European parliaments.'
