Criticizes Israel's proposed takeover of Gaza by Sherry
Sherry Rehman Condemns Israel's Military Occupation Plan in Gaza
Sherry Rehman, Vice-President of Pakistan's PPP and Senate parliamentary leader, strongly condemned Israel's reported plan to impose a military occupation on Gaza, calling it a "blatant attempt to turn oppression into policy under the false cover of security."
Rehman criticised Israel's tactics of choking off food, water, and medicine in Gaza as "the worst and most cold-blooded example of systematic genocide," accusing Israel of using hunger as a weapon of war to starve the population into submission. She highlighted the humanitarian disaster with Gaza’s hospitals closed and dire conditions for children and families.
Rehman called starving a population a crime against humanity and demanded urgent international accountability for Israel’s actions, including bringing Israeli leadership to justice through the International Court of Justice.
Her condemnation aligns with wider reactions, including countries like the UK and Australia urging Israel not to proceed with military control of Gaza. She noted opposition within Israel itself, mentioning Israel's opposition leader branding the occupation move a "disaster."
This is not just a humanitarian crisis but a defining test of humanity globally, Rehman stressed. Internationally, Pakistan's UN ambassador also demanded the UN Security Council halt Israel’s occupation plan, calling it a step toward ethnic cleansing that endangers prospects for peace. UN human rights officials similarly called for an immediate halt to the occupation plan.
In summary, Sherry Rehman condemned the military occupation plan as a grave human rights violation and genocide tactic, called for swift international justice, and aligned with global calls urging Israel to reverse the decision to occupy Gaza.
