Israeli and Palestinian Women Call for Immediate End to Israeli Military Aggression in Gaza |
The International Women’s Commission (IWC) for a Just and
Sustainable Palestinian–Israeli Peace demands an immediate cessation of
the aggression by the Israeli military forces in Gaza, which has
already cost hundreds of lives.
This slaughter can only further fuel the conflict and quash any
remaining hope for peace between the Israeli and Palestinian people.
The IWC calls on the international community, and specifically the
Quartet, to immediately deploy an international force to bring an end
to this madness, to protect innocent civilians and to alleviate the
escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The IWC further appeals to the Quartet, and in particular to the
incoming US Administration, to press for immediate resumption of peace
negotiations based on the Arab Peace Initiative as the only way of
bringing an end to the occupation and achieving sustainable peace
between Israel and Palestine, and in the region.
