International Day of Solidarity with Palestinians: WCC emphasizes international community failure
Rev. Christopher Ferguson, representative of the World Council of Churches to the United Nations, denounced that “the international community has failed and continues to fail to stand with the Palestinian people in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem and worldwide in ending the brutal military occupation, ongoing dispossession and securing the right to return.”
“Peace must be built on rights for all and protection for all,” said Ferguson, emphasizing that “any lasting solution for the Palestinian people is intertwined with Peace and Justice for Israel.”
He spoke on behalf of the International Coordinating Network on Palestine as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People was observed at the UN headquarters in New York on Thursday, 29 November.
