Palestinian Ambassador Speaks Out Against Israel.
Says Actions in West Bank Are "Brutal."
The Palestinian Ambassador to Zimbabwe is very upset. His name is Dr. Tamer Almassri. He said Israel is being mean to Palestinians in the West Bank.
Israel put up a lot of checkpoints there. They are like gates that make it hard for people to move around. There are almost 900 of them. Ambassador Almassri said this is not fair. It breaks up communities.
He thinks Israel's leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, is doing this for political reasons. Netanyahu wants to make his government look strong. But Ambassador Almassri said it's really just a way to bully Palestinians.
Israeli troops also attacked a place called Jenin. They used drones and bombs. Ten people died. Many more were hurt. A hospital was damaged.
"The world should not be quiet about this," Ambassador Almassri said. He wants other countries to punish Israel. He said what Israel is doing is against the law.
The Palestinians still want their own country. They want it to include Jerusalem. "We will never give up our rights," the Ambassador said.
Other groups are also worried about what Israel is doing. They say Israel is treating Palestinians like second-class citizens.
Things keep getting worse between Israel and the Palestinians. The Palestinians want someone to step in and help. They want the pain to stop. They want to be treated fairly.
