President Mahmoud Abbas’s office has condemned Israel’s assassination of Palestinian young man Mohammad Shawkat Salima, 25, earlier today in the vicinity of the Damascus Gate plaza in occupied Jerusalem.
The President’s Office said in a statement that the latest crime was a continuity of Israel’s ongoing aggression on the Palestinian people that should not be tolerated.
The statement urged the international community to immediately act to stop Israel’s crimes, provide protection to the Palestinian people, end the occupation and create an independent State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital.
