The president of the body, Adel bin Abdul Rahman Al-Assoumi, criticized the weak global response to the military campaign of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, which in the Gaza Strip alone has killed more than 41,000 people since October 2023.

Israeli crimes are a shame for humanity, Abdel bin Abdul stressed while speaking at the 11th conference of the Association of Senates, Shura Councils and Similar Councils of Africa and the Arab World.

The Palestinian people are being subjected to a massacre in full view of the world, which did not lift a finger to stop the war, he stressed.

Al-Assoumi also questioned the support of several Western countries to Israel in its attacks on women, children and the elderly.

The conflict in Gaza reveals the “criminal and racist nature” of Tel Aviv’s administration, the lawmaker asserted.
