Ramallah - Ma‘an – The Palestinian National Initiative (PNI) leader, Dr Mustafa Barghouthi, on Tuesday condemned the "ugly crimes committed by the Israeli forces in the Palestinian territories."
In a statement Barghouthi added that "the Israelis are escalating their crimes and have killed 11 Palestinians in the last 24 hours in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including an 11-year-old child."
Barghouthi called on international societies and movements across the world to pressurise their governments to boycott the Israeli government and to impose sanctions against Israel "which allows itself to shed the blood of Palestinians."
He also said that Israel considers itself a state that is "above international law."
