COMOG calls for emergency UN General Assembly Session on Palestine-Israel crisis
The Coalition of Muslim Organisations Ghana (COMOG) is calling for an Emergency United Nations (UN) General Assembly Session, to consider appropriate action on the Palestine-Israel crisis.
“We the Coalition of Muslim Organisations Ghana write to express our resentment against the precarious attacks on the people of Palestine by Israeli. This must be of grave concern to the international community being represented at the UN,” a press statement issued in Accra and signed by Hajj Abdel-Manan Abdel-Rahman,” President of COMOG, said.
As an umbrella organisation which treasures peace and security of humanity across the world, with absolute repulsion against the positions of the USA, UK, Germany, France, of the EU, COMOG wish to add its voices to the many other voices calling on the United Nations to take steps to end the senseless destruction of life and property which is being perpetrated on the innocent and defenseless people of Palestine.
The statement further called for an international sanction on Israel and condemned Ghana’s abstention at the United Nations Security Council voting and, calls for an immediate cessation of diplomatic relations with Israel.
The statement said “COMOG wishes to express its disappointment at Ghana’s abstention from the voting on the proposed Russian resolution on Gaza at the UN Security Council on Monday, October 16, 2023. Ghana’s position as issued by the Foreign Ministry coupled with its abstention at the UN Security Council voting is totally at variance with its Foreign Policy.”
The carnage in Gaza at this time, COMOG said required responsible and credible leadership from the USA and her EU allies, and sober invocation of UN mechanisms to resolve this over 75-year Palestine-Israel conflict, instead of the USA and her European Union (EU) allies one-sided solid-rock and unwavering support for Israel, which is rather the aggressor, occupying and oppressing a sovereign state of Palestine.
“Where is the voice and condemnation of the USA and EU allies when over 250 Palestinians have been killed this year before the current escalations, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, also desecrated by Israel!
Where is the moral integrity of the USA and her EU allies in upholding the UN charter that was entered after the WWII to ensure that the world sees peace and justice, ever after! How can Palestinians who are the oppressed not have the right to defend themselves, but Israel the oppressor rather has the right to defend itself, and that no country or countries, person or persons have the right to go to the aid of the Palestinians who are being oppressed and killed!,” the statement added. — GNA
