Ambassador denies Israel engaged in genocidal actions in Gaza

Ambassador Itai Bardov shows his `Our hearts are captive in Gaza, Bring them home now’ chain

As he denied genocidal actions in Gaza and pointed to the horrific onslaught against Israel’s civilians especially women and children on October 7th last, an Israeli envoy yesterday appealed to  Guyanese to fact-find on the issue while declaring that Jerusalem remains ready to end the war.

And with an interim ruling expected today following South Africa’s action against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for what Pretoria  sees as genocide against the Palestinian people, the envoy said that the way forward in ending the war and bringing peace in the region requires both parties’ sincere participation.

“The narrative that has been mostly spoken in media here…is simply not true, and it’s important for me to share this perspective,” Non-resident Ambassador for the Embassy of Israel to Guyana, Barbados, Suriname Trinidad and Tobago and Caricom, Itai Bardov told Stabroek News yesterday in an exclusive interview.
