A member of the Sudanese parliament has said that Israel is systematically targeting women and children in the Gaza Strip in order to eliminate future fighters.
Muhammad Yusif Abdullah, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee at the National Assembly of Sudan, made the remarks in an interview with the Tehran Times on the sidelines of a meeting of top parliamentarians on the Gaza tragedy.
Israel is systematically “targeting women because they produce fighters. And it is targeting children because they are future fighters, so they are terrorized and killed. Israel wants to eliminate resistance elements in that reign,” he stated.
“I believe that the Islamic ummah (community) is united about the Palestinian case. They have supported Palestine in the past and will support in the future,” Abdullah noted.
However, every nation chooses a different strategy to back the Palestinian people, some giving financial aid, and others providing humanitarian or military support, he said.
“Arab countries are experiencing special situation. We have been divided for a reason or another. Israel is making efforts to create internal problems, and problems between Arab countries so that Arabs would not get united against Israel,” he noted.
“But we believe that the situation is gradually changing.”
Commenting on the role of the United States in the atrocities being committed by Israel against the Gaza people, he said he was of the opinion that the U.S. is paralyzed because the Israeli lobby in the Congress is “toying” the U.S. administration, and the congressmen want to please Israel.
He added that last week U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that he was not happy about what was happening in Gaza and that he had described the incidents in Gaza as a horror and crime.
