Palestinian PM says West gives Israel ‘licence to kill’ in Gaza

Published October 23, 2023

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh has accused Western nations of giving Israel a “licence to kill” in its bombardments against the Gaza Strip’s fighters, AFP reports.

“What we hear from the mouth of the occupation (Israeli) leaders on preparations for a land invasion means more crimes, atrocities and forced displacement,” Shtayyeh told the start of a Palestinian Authority government meeting.

“We condemn the statements that constitute a licence to kill and give Israel political cover to commit massacres and spread destruction in Gaza,” he added.
