Israel terror cannot defer Palestinian rights

Egypt's Permanent Delegate to the UN, ambassador Ahmad Abul Gheit said that the Palestinians were exposed to aggression, degradation and mass murder, which are all condemned by international law.

"Violence and destruction in the Palestinian territories can be described as nothing but terror," he added.

In a word to UN Security Council's Anti-Terror Committee, Abul Gheit reiterated the fact that Israeli aggression can not damage Palestinian rights to self-determination and establishing an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Egypt and all the international community look forward to a visit by the committee to the Palestinian lands to investigate Israeli crimes against the unarmed Palestinians.
