Former Prime Minister’s intervention in the Council of Europe
“International Piracy,” the former prime minister described Alexis Tsipras the attack of Israeli To Peace activists for Gaza, noting that they had violated international law.
In his speech to the Council of Europe he also noted:
-The Council of Europe must condemn this act of piracy and require the immediate and safe return of all activists to their countries.
-The Israeli government must respect international law instead of the international community to tolerate acts of violence, piracy and genocide.
-Tragic irony Tony Blair, a hawk of war, wants to bring peace to Gaza. The one who lied and misleading public opinion on the invasion of Iraq.
-European leaders abandon their passive attitude and take initiatives to end the war and guarantee the peaceful coexistence of the two peoples.
Alexis Tsipras reiterated that in the Palestinian issue Europe is on the wrong side of history and explained “because it is far from doing everything it can for peace”.
He also said: “I wonder: How does a European citizen feel when, on the one hand, there are calls for harsh sanctions, even military interventions, and on the other, Europe closes the massive murder of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians? In what the United Nations has described genocide. “
He also noted: “Peace for Israelis and Palestinians can only be achieved through a solution of two states, at the base of the 1967 border, with the Eastern Jerusalem capital of Palestine. After a ceasefire and the return of all hostages. And with the active involvement of the UN Security Council, without unscrupulous saviors. “
