Ammon News - The Senate Monday condemned the "brutal aggression" by Israeli occupation forces against the city of Jenin and the nearby Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, which left at least five people dead and injured dozens more, some critically.

In a statement, Senate President Faisal Fayez deplored "the silence of the international community and human rights organizations over the war crimes perpetrated by the far-right Israeli government, its army and (Jewish) settlers against the Palestinian people."

"This silence on state terrorism carried out by Israel is a disgrace for humanity and human rights advocates of various civil society organizations in the world," he said.

Fayez urged "all forces that stand for the right to life and freedom to pressure their countries to push the United Nations and the UN Security Council to take firm and prompt action to stop the brutal Israeli attacks, hold Israel accountable for the war crimes committed against the Palestinian people and stop the racist actions of the occupation army in Jenin and the whole of the occupied Palestinian territories."

The head of the Senate also expressed full support of His Majesty King Abdullah's efforts in defending the Palestinian cause and the right of its people to freedom and independence, and urged Arab support of the King in this endeavor.
