WEST BANK (Dispatches) – The deputy speaker of the Zionist regime’s parliament has called for the separation of children from their mothers and the killing of adults in Gaza.
During an interview with Kol BaRama radio, Nissim Vaturi called Palestinians “scoundrels” and “subhumans”, adding that this is a group of people that cannot be accepted.
“Who is innocent in Gaza? Civilians went out and slaughtered people in cold blood,” Vaturi said on Kol BaRama radio.
“They are outcasts and no one in the world wants them,” he said, adding that Israel needs to “separate the children and women and kill the adults in Gaza, we are being too considerate.
“The international community understands that the residents of Gaza are not welcome anywhere, and is pushing them towards Israel.”
The deputy speaker, who belongs to Zionist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, also said that the occupied West Bank city of Jenin will soon turn into Gaza, saying that Palestinians released as part of the ceasefire deal should be put there “so that they can be eliminated later”.
“Erase Jenin. Don’t start looking for the terrorists - if there’s a terrorist in the house, take him down, tell the women and children to get out,” he added.
The comments come after Israel delayed the release of Palestinian prisoners and detainees, which was set to take place on Saturday as part of the Gaza truce agreement with Hamas.
The Zionist regime was meant to free 602 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the six Israeli captives released last week. Hamas responded by announcing that it will suspend negotiations unless the prisoners are released as promised.
Mahmoud Mardawi, a Hamas official, urged mediators to pressure Israel to uphold the ceasefire agreement.
The violent rhetoric issued by top Zionist regime officials like Vaturi has been used as evidence of Israel’s genocidal intent in its war on Gaza, which has killed more than 48,000 Palestinians and utterly devastated the enclave.
Lawyers for South Africa used their statements at the International Court of Justice in a case accusing the occupying regime of waging genocide in Gaza. In a preliminary judgment, the world’s highest court said South Africa’s accusation was plausible.
