UAE Condemns Israeli Aggressions on PalestiniansThe United Arab Emirates (UAE) on April 7 condemned the Israeli aggressions against the Palestinians and also blamed the United States for not taking necessary measures to stop Israel from killing Palestinian civilians.During a meeting with a US congressional delegation, UAE Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed al Nahyan said that " the (US) policy of condoning (Israeli) gross human rights violations is politically and morally objectionable," the official WAM news agency reported. Sheikh Sultan criticized the US for vetoing a United Nations resolution on sending an observer force to protect the Palestinians under Israeli occupation. He pointed out that the US public opinion has been misled as a result of Western unfair media coverage of the Palestinian Intifada (uprising), expressing hope that the US congressional delegation would depict a correct picture of the pains of the Palestinians. "Distortion has prevailed as a result of unfair coverage intended to serve ulterior motives and disguise the Israeli aggressions on Palestinians," he stressed. Expressing confidence in the implementation of the relevant UN resolutions on the Middle East conflict, Sheikh Sultan said that truth would triumph someday and that nobody would be misled anymore over the Israeli aggressions against the Palestinians. More than 450 people, most of them Palestinians, have been killed and thousands of others wounded in the clashes between the Palestinians and Israeli troops since last September. |
