BEIRUT (KI) – Coming down hard on the Zionist regime’s massacre and disinformation activities in Gaza, Lebanese Information Minister Ziad Makary said: “This is not a war ... this is a genocide.”
Replying to a question by Anadolu at the International Strategic Communication Summit (Stratcom Summit 2023) held in Istanbul, Makary said: “They are doing something worse than the genocide they experienced in World War II.”He emphasized the importance of the summit, which he attended for the first time, in discussing what is happening in the world in terms of disinformation and misinformation amidst the challenging times the Middle East is going through, both in terms of its theme and bringing current issues to the agenda.
Meanwhile, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi says the Israeli aggression against Gaza, which claimed the lives of nearly 15,000 people over 49 days, qualifies as genocide as members of the Arab country’s lower house of parliament embark on a review of peace accords with the Tel Aviv regime.
Safadi said on Monday that what has happened in Gaza since early October is within the realm of the legal definition of genocide.
The minister was speaking in a news conference at the Union for the Mediterranean summit in Spain’s Barcelona.
Jordan borders the occupied West Bank in Palestine and is home to a large community of refugees who have been displaced by Israel’s decades of aggression against the Palestinians.
The Arab country has a peace treaty with the Zionist regime which it signed in 1994 amid efforts at the time by the U.S. to work out a so-called two-state solution to the Palestinian conflict, an initiative which has failed to bear fruit after nearly three decades.
