Angry international reactions to Israeli aggression
Palestine-International, Politics, 4/2/2002

Israel's all-out war on Palestinians triggered anger among international countries by and large.

France on Monday demanded Israel to stop its military operations in Ramallah and other West Bank cities.

A statement by the French Foreign Ministry said such Israel practices would lead to a wide-scale political and humanitarian crisis.

The statement called on Israeli authorities to allow French diplomats in the occupied lands meet with members of the French community to offer them the help they need.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian government called upon the UN to immediately intervene and put an end to Israel's all-out military offensive on defenceless Palestinian citizens.

Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono pressed for the implementation of the UN Security Council resolution issued on Saturday.

He urged the international organization to send monitors as soon as possible to verify Israel's disrespect of all international legitimacy resolutions.

Turkish President Bulent Ecevit and Foreign Minister Ismail Cem condemned ongoing Israeli aggressions on Palestinian people.

They asserted that Ankara does not accept Israel's excessive use of force in the occupied lands.

Several parliamentarians called for canceling the Turkish-Israeli military agreement signed few days earlier.

Cypriot President Glafcos Clerides expressed sorrow over the deteriorating Middle East situation and pressed for a ceasefire to be followed by peaceful talks.

He lauded the recent UNSC resolution which called on Israel to pull back from all Palestinian cities.
