Palestinian Ambassador to UK : Israel is responsible for the “Baptist disaster”
The Palestinian Ambassador to Britain, Hossam Zomlot, said he still believes that Israel is responsible for the bloody attack on the Baptist Hospital in Gaza on Tuesday, which killed at least 500 people.
Zomlot added to the British "Sky News" network that the Baptist Hospital incident "is not the only thing that the press should focus on," pointing out that the St. Porphyrius Church was targeted one day after the hospital was targeted.
The diplomat considered, "The Palestinians feel invisible. There is massacre and horror everywhere, and the situation is unprecedented."
In his speech, Zomlot touched on the Hamas attacks that claimed the lives of Israeli civilians, offering condolences to the families of the victims, but he went on to say: “While the Palestinian authorities condemned the killing of Israeli civilians, he did not hear the same from Israel regarding the Palestinian victims.”
He added: "Our lives matter. All human beings are equal."
The National Arab Baptist Hospital, located in Gaza City, witnessed a bloody attack on Tuesday, sparking a widespread wave of condemnation.
While Hamas held Israel responsible for the attack, which the Palestinian Ministry of Health says led to the killing of hundreds of civilians, the Israeli army rejects this claim, claiming that the explosion resulted from a “failed missile launch” by Jihad movement activists.
Western reports also supported the Israeli story, accusing Palestinian factions of being behind the tragedy.
