(AGENPARL) - Roma, 7 Ottobre 2024 - (AGENPARL) – lun 07 ottobre 2024 Today, we mark a year of immense suffering for the peoples of Israel and Palestine, as well as the continuing failure of governments to act in the interests of human security and international order.
Here at the Center for International Policy, we mark this sad milestone with pain in our hearts but also with a renewed resolve for action.
We mourn for those harmed and lost in that attack, and those lost in retaliatory attacks after. We see the anguish of Israelis who lost loved ones, and whose government has prioritized clinging to power above the return of hostages taken in the Hamas-led attacks against Israeli communities one year ago.
We cannot look away from the tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, wounded and orphaned as a result of Israel’s ongoing and often indiscriminate assault on Gaza. And we are outraged as the United States government continues to arm this carnage in violation of its own laws, hobbling the diplomacy it is engaged in to end the fighting and stop its spread to Lebanon and beyond.
From our first statement on October 8 to today, CIP has offered analysis and recommendations throughout this conflict aimed at ending the violence, restoring human security and ensuring accountability in the region.
Finally apply meaningful pressure to Netanyahu by suspending U.S. arms deliveriesFully enforce U.S. law by suspending delivery to Israel of the arms it is using in Gaza, while pressing for and helping coordinate a massive emergency increase in humanitarian aid and services to the territory.
Focus diplomacy toward a just resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on multilateral rather than bilateral normalization effortsTake meaningful anti-occupation, anti-annexation stepsSubstantially expand support for the Palestinian people and Palestinian leaders who seek peace with Israel
Our hearts go out to all who have suffered throughout this conflict. We are also grateful to you and to our entire community for your support and contributions at every step as we work to end the bloodshed and achieve a resolution that improves the lives of Israelis and Palestinians, as well as all those in the region and globally.
In solidarity,
Nancy Okail
President & CEO
