Atrocities on Gaza Strip akin to genocide –Jagdeo

President Bharrat Jagdeo says Guyana condemns absolutely the atrocities being committed against the Palestinians which seem to be a form of sanctioned genocide.

In an invited comment Jagdeo told the Government Information Agency (GINA) that, “The Jewish people have suffered much over the years through persecution and the disproportionate use of force and of all peoples, should understand the plight of the Palestinian people.”

He said too government has over the years advocated for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with the people of Israel and Palestine living in their independent countries in peace and harmony. The Guyana Government “will continue to support this position,” Jagdeo said, calling for an immediate ceasefire and for the two sides to return to the negotiating table.
