Israel Regime Should Reconsider Decision about NAM Members’ Ministers

The UN Middle East envoy on Sunday urged Israel to reconsider its decision to bar four foreign ministers and ambassadors from attending a conference in Palestine.

"I regret the decision by the Israel to bar the Foreign Ministers of Bangladesh, Cuba, Indonesia and Malaysia access to the West Bank to attend the extra-ordinary meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement’s Committee on Palestine," said Robert Serry in a statement. "Denying the Palestinian Authority the ability to engage with members of the International Community in Area, is yet another step that contradicts the credibility of the Oslo arrangements, which affirm the Palestinian right of self-government, I call upon the Government of Israel to reconsider its decision" said Serry. Israel denied entry to the envoys because their countries do not have diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv, Zionist regime Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told Reuters. The Non-Aligned Movement is a group of states that aims to represent the interests of the developing world. They were due to sign a declaration backing the Palestinians ahead of their fresh campaign to win recognition as an independent state at the United Nations next month. The exclusion of the envoys from the Israeli-occupied West Bank starkly underlined the limits of Palestinian autonomy. Palestinian officials said the other conference guests, including the foreign ministers of Egypt and Zimbabwe, had waited in neighboring Jordan for clearance to travel. Israeli clearance was granted but in the end they declined to attend, in solidarity with those prevented from taking part. "The goal of this decision, which was issued at the highest political echelons in Israel, is to thwart the efforts of the Palestinian leadership to achieve more successes for the benefit of Palestinians and its efforts to end the occupation," Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki told reporters. Through taking such measures the Zionist regime revealed that it is not committed to any international treaties.
