Aboul Gheit calls on Guterres not to underestimate the statements about using nuclear weapons to strike Gaza

Cairo – The Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, called on both the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Security Council not to belittle or underestimate the extremist statement of the Zionist official who called for striking the Gaza Strip with a nuclear bomb and the criminal intentions he conceals, considering this statement a direct threat to peace and international security.

This came in two letters addressed by Mr Aboul Gheit to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Permanent Representative of China, President of the current session of the United Nations Security Council Zhang Hen, in which he expressed his deep concern about the recent statement of the Zionist official who considered that dropping an atomic bomb on the Gaza Strip is… One of the possibilities that can be considered in the midst of the aggression launched by the occupation against 2.2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The spokesman for the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Jamal Rushdi, said that Aboul Gheit’s speech contained a strong criticism of those statements, as he stressed that this fascist language, as crazy as it may seem, reveals the level of extremism and fanaticism of the occupation.

He also explained that in light of the occupation’s adoption of such ideological delusions and deep-rooted hatred, it is not surprising that we witness horrific massacres committed every day against innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip, stressing that the matter is not limited to the Zionist official’s admission that the occupying entity possesses nuclear weapons, which is the open secret that It blatantly contradicts international law. Rather, these statements also reveal the racist outlook and the occupation’s dangerous intentions in calling for the use of weapons of mass destruction against the Palestinians as a strategic option and incitement to commit more war crimes.

Rushdi added that the two speeches included a strong reference to the firm Arab position on the necessity of establishing a zone free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, and the necessity of achieving this goal as soon as possible.

Aboul Gheit appealed to the UN Secretary-General, and through him to the member states of the United Nations and the UN and international agencies, “for the need for the international community to assume its responsibility to quickly stop the Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and to hold the occupation accountable for all the violations and crimes it has committed,” warning that allowing this war crimes to continues even for one more day, it will sow the seeds of hatred and extremism in the region for years to come.

The President of the Security Council, through him, called on the member states of the Security Council “not to belittle or underestimate the extremist statement and the criminal intentions it conceals,” noting that the threat to use nuclear weapons constitutes a direct threat to international peace and security, and that the Security Council must deal with this matter seriously.
