Lower House denounces
Israeli operations in Gaza
AMMAN, October 5 (Petra) - The Lower House of Parliament on Monday strongly
denounced Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip describing it as a
horrific massacre and a cowardly terrorist act against the defenseless
Palestinian people.
The Parliament statement, signed by House Speaker Abdul Hadi Majali, called on
the international community and world parliaments to intercede and stop the
crime. Majali has just returned from a visit to Geneva where he attended the
International Parliamentary Union meeting and delivered a similar appeal.
