Statement by the People’s Progressive Party on Israeli-Palestinian conflict
GEORGETOWN, Guyana, October 17, 2023 - The following is a statement by the ruling Peoples Progressive Party of Guyana, following the flare-up of violence in the Middle East, following last week's attasck on Israel by the Hamas group out of Gaza.
Statement by the ruling Peoples Progressive Party of Guyana on the Israeli, Palestinian Conflict.
The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has historically stood in support of a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in keeping with UN resolution 242. Events of this last week have catapulted this issue onto the forefront of the global agenda once again, and require more urgent, determined, sustained, and unequivocal efforts by the United Nations (UN) and global leaders to realise this resolution.
Hamas’ attack on Israeli territory, and the subsequent Israeli aerial bombardment, as well as the consequential cutting off of all access to fuel, electricity, water, and medicine to the people of Gaza, have brought the status of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to its lowest levels in several decades.
