The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our
America-Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) condemned this Tuesday the
growing wave of violence in the Middle East, driven by the Zionist
regime of Israel, which has carried out multiple attacks in Lebanon, in
addition to maintaining a genocide against the Palestinian People in Gaza.
In a statement, the regional integration bloc
rejected “the inconceivable impunity with which the State of Israel acts and
ratify the need to take measures within the framework of international law
to stop the violence of the Israeli elite, while reaffirming their
commitment to peace, tolerance and sacred respect for life.”
Below is the full text of the document:
The member States of the Bolivarian Alliance for the
Peoples of Our America-Peoples' Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP)
express their absolute condemnation of the dangerous escalation of violence that is
taking place in the Middle East, specifically the attacks carried out
by the Israeli army on the territory of the Lebanese Republic.
The excessive violence that Israel's ruling elite has
unleashed on surrounding countries is unacceptable and inhumane. Almost a
year after the beginning of this new phase of systematic genocide against the Palestinian
population, the Israeli government is not satisfied with having perpetrated flagrant and systematic
violations of the human rights of the
Palestinian people and of international law by mercilessly attacking the civilian population
of Gaza, but it also attacks other sovereign States in
constant criminal retaliation, which ends in the death of innocent civilians and in enormous destruction.
The ALBA-TCP has been warning about the seriousness of the
regionalization of the conflict and the need to end the impunity with which Israel acts.
Today there are more than 41,431 fatalities in Palestine, more than
100 dead and 400 injured in Lebanon, in addition to material damage in Gaza, the
West Bank, Syria and other countries in the region.
The member countries of the Bolivarian Alliance reject the
inconceivable impunity with which the State of Israel acts and confirm the
need to take measures within the framework of international law to stop the violence of
the Israeli elite, while reaffirming their commitment to
peace, tolerance and sacred respect for life.
