Hamas’ attack was a result of seven decades of injustices and brutalities on Palestinians: VC-IPS
IPS’ Vice Chairman Ambassador (r) Syed Abrar Hussain delivered a keynote speech at a seminar titled ‘The Palestine Issue and Possibilities for the Future’, held at the Institute of Regional Studies (IRS), Peshawar on November 4, 2023.
Giving a history of the issue, he argued that the 7th October attack by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum; it was a reaction of injustices and brutalities that Palestinians suffered for seven decades.
He recalled that Gaza had been under siege for 15 years and accused Israel of an unproportionate response.
He demanded that the international community especially Muslim nations must intervene to impose a ceasefire.
