Hasan Abu Libda, secretary-general of the Palestinian Ministerial Council in Ramallah, stated that the Palestinian government formed a committee to follow-up on the ‘organs harvest’ allegations against the Israeli army.In a Thursday morning interview with the Palestine Radio, Abu Libda said that the committee was formed under direct orders of the Palestinian Authority, and added that it would also act internationally.
He said that the Palestinian Authority will have a direct and sharp response to the issue, as organs harvest is a direct violation to the international law, the basic principles of human rights and is also a direct violation to religious beliefs.
The Palestinian Authority decided to form the committee after the Swedish paper, Aftonbladet, published reports accusing Israel of illegally removing the organs of Palestinians who were shot and killed by the Israeli army.
The report put the Israeli-Swedish relations at odds, while the Israeli government announced that it will file a lawsuit against the paper seeking $7.5 million in compensation.
Israel also demanded an official apology from Sweden, but the Swedish government said that the report was published as the country believes in the freedom of press and expression.
The Israeli government said that the report is a ‘blood libel ’, and that it is mean to demonize Jews.
