Report, PCHR, 29 June 2006
PCHR strongly condemns the IOF detention of Palestinian Cabinet Ministers, including the Deputy Prime Minister, and legislative council members from the "Change and Reform" party, affiliated with Hamas. The Centre views these detentions as a form of reprisal against Palestinian civilians and a form of collective punishment prohibited by Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The Centre calls upon the international community, particularly the High Contracting Parties of the Fourth Geneva Convention, to force IOF to respect the convention, which bars reprisals against protected persons, as stipulated in Article 33. The Centre calls upon the High Contracting Parties to enforce Article 3, regarding adherence to the convention and respecting its stipulations, and to take appropriate actions against the serious violations being perpetrated.

By IBRAHIM BARZAK Associated Press Writer GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israel destroyed the office of the Palestinian interior minister in a series of airstrikes Friday, increasing the pressure on the Hamas government to release a kidnapped soldier a day after it delayed a broad ground offensive into the Gaza Strip.
Also Friday, Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said that Israel's offensive in Gaza was part of a premeditated plan to bring down the Hamas-led government. Israel's air force has struck more than 30 targets in Gaza - including the Palestinian Interior Ministry - in response to the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier by Palestinian militants on Sunday. |
Press Release, Christian Aid, 29 June 2006
Israeli tanks have invaded the Palestinian territory of the Gaza Strip, following the capture of an Israeli soldier by Palestinian militants on Sunday.
This comes at the end of a month during which 34 Palestinian civilians have been killed in Gaza in Israeli military attacks or 'targeted assassinations' of suspected militants. This includes 10 children. Christian Aid condemns all violent actions and believes that without an end to violence by all sides there will be no security, no end to poverty and no peace. |
