PLO official: Israel targeting ‘defenseless civilians’ for political gains
Senior Palestinian Liberation Organization official Hanan Ashrawi says Israel is conducting retaliatory strikes on terror-related targets in the Gaza Strip “for political gains.”
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assault campaign is a cynical attempt to inflict pain on and terrorize the captive Palestinians of Gaza for political gains during his coalition negotiations. Targeting defenseless civilians is criminal and morally reprehensible and must be condemned unequivocally,” she claims in a statement posted on a PLO website.
