Guyana calls for end of Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett

Guyana has called upon the government of Israel to live up to its obligations under international law to the people of the occupied Palestinian territory, to cease the construction of settlements and to the complete lifting of the blockade of Gaza.

Guyana also called for an end to violence as this undermines reaching any settlement.  These demands were made by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett who represented Guyana at the 12th Summit of the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation in Cairo,
