Ammon News - The Lower House Monday called for urgent Arab and international action to stop Israel's aggression against the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, and protect the Palestinian people, who are facing the Israeli war machine and destruction.

"The crimes of the occupiers will not deter the Palestinian people from its struggle to regain its legitimate rights and establish an independent state on its national soil with Holy Jerusalem as its capital", the House said in a statement, referring to an Israeli dawn raid against Jenin and the nearby Jenin refugee camp, in which at least five people were killed and dozens injured.

"This aggression is a continuation of the occupation authority’s crimes and designs that were thwarted by the Palestinian people's steadfastness and struggle", added the statement.

The terrorism perpetrated by the occupying power needs deterrence by the international community, it said, warning that the barbarism against the Palestinian people undermines all peace efforts, and proves to the entire world that Israel is an entity that upholds extremism, and practices all forms of punishment against unarmed Palestinians.

The House said the international community's silence on the crimes of the occupiers puts the world and humanity before a test, and requires all international forces to take urgent action to stop "this brutal aggression against the steadfast people of Jenin."
