On the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, observed on November 29 of each year, Tunisia calls for the immediate ceasefire and swift delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need in Gaza and Palestine in general, without conditions or obstacles, according to a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad.
Tunisia further calls for providing international protection to Palestinian civilians in accordance with the UN resolutions, ending the unjust siege of Palestine in particular the Gaza Strip, stopping the various forms of collective punishment imposed on Palestinians and providing protection and support to relief teams and humanitarian organizations active on the field, said the Tunisian Foreign Ministry.
Tunisia, along with the wider international community, is observing this day amid a situation on the ground characterized by extreme danger and crisis due to the Zionist entity's ongoing brutal aggression against the occupied Palestinian territories and defenseless civilians, in total disregard of all international conventions and universal values, with no accountability whatsoever.
Tunisia considers that "what Palestine and the Gaza Strip in particular have been enduring for nearly two months of brutal aggression and horrific, cold-blooded attacks against children, women, the elderly and the sick, in full view of the entire world, is a disgrace to the entire humanity, given the failure of many international sides to shoulder their political, legal and moral responsibilities to immediately stop this barbaric aggression and hold the occupying entity accountable for the systematic war crimes and genocide targeting defenseless civilians in residential neighborhoods, hospitals, refugee camps and facilities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)."
Tunisia, which fully stands by the Palestinian people, further denounces the grave violations of international humanitarian law, in light of suspicious international silence in exchange for an unprecedented human awareness of the rights of Palestinians, and calls on the international community to assume its full responsibility regarding the situation in Palestine from the standpoint of dealing with all issues of occupation and aggression with the same criteria and standards.
Tunisia further reiterates its outright rejection of all forms and attempts of eviction and forced displacement of Palestinians, measures aimed at changing the demographic composition, nature and status of the occupied Palestinian territory, and desperate attempts to windup the just Palestinian cause, added the Tunisian Foreign Ministry.
"We are convinced that achieving security and stability in the region are contingent on ending the occupation of all Palestinian territories and the rest of the occupied Arab territories, and reaching a just, comprehensive and long-standing solution to restore the confiscated rights of the Palestinian people for an independent State with Al-Quds as its capital."
Tunisia, which stands for justice and peace, will remain steadfast in its support in principle for just causes, first and foremost the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, freedom and independence.
