Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network calls on IOA to respect the truce after repeated violations

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) warned against embroiling the Gaza Strip in “a new spiral of violence”, after repeated violations committed by the Israeli occupation army of the truce concluded with the Palestinian resistance, mediated by Egypt, eight days ago.

EMHRN stated in a report on Thursday that it is worried about the Israeli breaches of the truce, which has been signed between the two sides under Egyptian mediation eight days after the aggression on Gaza.

The report documented seven Israeli violations of the truce, which was concluded under Egyptian auspices, resulting in the martyrdom of one Palestinian, and the wounding of 38 others. This is in addition to the arrest of 6 fishermen in the Gaza Sea.

EMHRN, based in Geneva, called on the occupation authorities “to respect the truce and to avoid dragging the region into a new spiral of violence.”

The Human rights network stressed on the importance of the international community and UN’s role to work for respecting the cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, and also stressed on the need to prosecute the Israeli occupation for violating the truce.
