In a reaction published Thursday on his twitter account, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, “strongly condemns the bombardments in the Gaza Strip and the violent attacks in the Al-Aqsa mosque committed by Israeli security forces against Palestinian worshippers during the holy month of Ramadan.”
The Chairperson reiterated that the Israeli army’s actions, including the continued forced, illegal evictions of Palestinians from their homes in East Al-Quds, are in stark violation of international law and further heighten tensions in the region, complicating the search for a just and lasting solution.
He also reiterated the unwavering support of the African Union with the Palestinian people in their legitimate quest for an independent and sovereign State with East Al-Quds as its capital.
Faki Mahamat further called for renewed and genuine international efforts to find a just and lasting solution based on the existence of two States, Israel and Palestine, within the framework of the relevant African Union and United Nations commitments.
