CAIRO, (PIC)-- The Arab League expressed profound concern at the uncertainty of the future of the Palestinian issue in the light of extremist Zionist parties assuming power in Israel and called on the international community to end the oppression against the Palestinian people by applying international resolutions and pressuring the Israeli occupation to lift the siege imposed on Gaza.

In a statement on Thursday, on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, the Palestine and Occupied Arab Lands Department in the Arab League said that the Zionist entity continues with its policies of repression, expulsion, murder and targeting the Palestinian identity which it has practised since the usurpation of Palestine.

The statement added that the Zionist entity still uses the same organised terror starting with the killing of Count Bernadotte, committing many massacres including Deir Yasin, the destruction of more than 524 Palestinian villages in addition to the wars against Arab states.

The statement condemned "international silence towards Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people."
