MCB Condemns Israeli War Crimes in OPT, Lebanon

London (WAFA)-The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) condemned in the strongest terms possible Israel's indiscriminate killing and criminal destruction of Lebanon's civilian infrastructure and slaughtering of civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

In a statement, MCB said that there is absolutely no doubt that Israel's actions constitute war crimes, calling on its government and other contracting parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to condemn these outrageous breaches of international humanitarian law.

The MCB said it believes that Israel's slaughter of civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) and Lebanon will not break the resolve of their respective peoples. "This sterile policy has been tried for decades by successive Israeli governments and has only produced highly motivated resistance movements."

"The only way out of this crisis is through an immediate cessation of hostilities and a negotiated international settlement that secures the release of prisoners and detainees from all sides," Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain said.
