Counselor Al-Ateeq called on the international community, the UN Security Council in particular, to play its role in holding the Israeli occupation forces fully responsible for continuing such crimes and continuous violations against the defenseless Palestinian people, their territories and their sanctities, which will only lead to more violence and security tension in the region.
