Mauritania: what happened in Israel is the result of violations against the Palestinian people

Nouakchott, Oct 7 (EFE) – Mauritania considered that the attacks by the Islamist group Hamas in Israel are the “logical result” of the “violations” committed by this country against the Palestinian people.

“This escalation is the logical result of the continued provocations and regular violations of the rights of the Palestinian people and the sacredness of the El Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli occupying authorities,” underlines the Mauritanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement.

The text also expresses the “deep concern” of that country about the current escalation of violence in the occupied Palestinian territories and the need for the international community to assume its responsibilities by taking the necessary measures to stop the cycle of violence in the region and establish a lasting peace.

The Foreign Office note reiterates the country’s position “in favor of a just and peaceful solution that preserves the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to dignity and sovereignty within the framework of an independent State with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

The surprise attack carried out by the radical Islamist group Hamas from the Gaza Strip against Israel and the military response ordered by the Government of Benjamin Netanyahu, which declared a “state of war”, have left a provisional toll of more than 500 dead. (more than 300 in Israel and at least 232 in Palestinian territory). EFE
