AhlulBayt News Agency: The Archbishop of Canterbury said there is no moral justification for the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza by the Israeli regime.
Civilian deaths and the “humanitarian catastrophe” as a result of Israel’s bombardment and siege of the Gaza Strip cannot be morally justified, Justin Welby said.
The “bloodshed must cease”, he said at the Church of England’s General Synod on Monday.
There is no moral justification for the “devastating loss of civilian life” in Gaza, he added.
“… I want to make clear that I do not believe the devastating loss of civilian life and humanitarian catastrophe resulting from Israel’s bombardment and siege of Gaza can be morally justified.”
He said that, since a call for “an immediate humanitarian ceasefire” from himself and other Christian leaders during a visit to Jerusalem al-Quds more than three weeks ago, “thousands more innocent men, women and children in Gaza have been killed.”
“So I repeat that call again with renewed urgency and even more force: this bloodshed must cease, hostages must be released and aid must reach those in Gaza in dire need,” the Archbishop said.
