MP Jamal Al-Khudari the director of the Popular Committee against the Siege affirmed that the proposal of the Zionist Environment Minister Gilad Erdan to cut off the supply of electricity to the Gaza Strip is very serious and considered it a death penalty.
In a statement on Sunday, Al-Khudari stated that raising such issue during the Sunday cabinet meeting signals real humanitarian disasters, on health, environment, society, education and many other aspects of life.
He also stressed that Israel, as an occupying force and according to the international law, is obliged to provide all the Gaza Strip’s supplies and to completely end the siege, instead of proposing to cut off the electricity.
The MP explained that ending the Gaza siege requires a series of actions, most importantly opening the commercial crossings, allowing the entrance of all goods and supplies, opening the seaport between Gaza and the rest of the world, re-opening the safe passage between Gaza and the West Bank and reconstructing the Gaza Airport.
