We Demand an Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza and the Start of Two-State Negotiations
The Frente Amplio (the ruling left-wing coalition) senators and representatives in Uruguay have condemned the Israeli military actions in Gaza in a public statement.
The statement also demands an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the swift initiation of negotiations to establish two states.
expressing deep concern over the worsening living conditions for Palestinians in Gaza and the west Bank, members of the ruling party emphasized that Israel’s military attacks not only cause targeted destruction of infrastructure but will also displace hundreds of thousands more people.
The statement refers to a recent report by the United Nations independent commission investigating Palestinian occupied territories.
It stresses that Hamas’s actions on october 7, 2023, cannot justify the ongoing genocide under any circumstances.
The Uruguayan lawmakers highlighted that Israel’s policies unfold amid increasing international condemnation, as reflected by a recent UN General Assembly resolution supported by 142 countries, including Uruguay.
they join voices worldwide calling for an immediate ceasefire; unblocking humanitarian aid from UN agencies; unconditional release of Israeli and Palestinian detainees; full respect for international law; and an end to all military escalations. They also reaffirm their demand to halt colonization in the west Bank and recognize two independent states: Palestine and Israel.
