Based on this, we stress our previous requests that the international community should immediately intervene to stop the Israeli massacres against the Palestinian civilians and provide international protection for them.
We also call upon the regional and international organizations, especially those concerned with the human rights aspect, to exert pressure on their governments in order to punish the Israeli war criminal.
