US Military Assistance To Israel Is The Same As The Assassination Of Thousands Of Palestinians
Palestinian President Spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh on Saturday said US House of Representatives approval of a US$26 billion draft military aid law to Israel was the same as killing thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, most recently in Tulkarm City, West Bank.
Abu Rudeineh stressed that "US security assistance [to Israel] is an escalation as well as aggression that is dangerous for the Palestinian people, thus giving Israel a green light to expand the scope of war to involve all countries in the region," he said.
President Mahmoud Abbas's spokesman emphasized that stability in Palestine is the only gateway to stability in the region and the world.
Abu Rudeineh denounced the aid package approved by the US House of Representatives in support of Israel, questioning the US's credibility in achieving security and stability in the Middle East through support for Israel's far-right government that continues to attack Gaza.

Israel's attack on Gaza is entering its 197th day.
Abu Rudeineh said that Israel continued to carry out its aggression in Tulkarm for three consecutive days.
As a result, 13 citizens were killed and infrastructure destroyed following similar actions in Jenin City.
He also stressed that the US remains in support of the far-right government, which supports colonial attacks in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, and has stopped supporting UNRWA in helping Palestinian refugees.
