Centre should take steps to ensure safety of Keralites stuck in Israel: CPI-M

Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], October 9 : The CPI-M State Secretariat in a statement on Monday urged the central government to take steps to ensure the safety of the Keralites stuck in Israel.
The clash between Hamas and Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip in Palestine has created a tense situation. It has now become an incident that seriously affects the lives of common citizens. Many lives have already been lost. Continued clashes will only lead to further loss of innocent lives, the statement said.
"Such a situation is based on the widespread occupation of Israeli and Palestinian territories and the killing of Palestinian citizens. It is necessary to understand and solve such problems in a democratic manner. There should be an intervention to create the conditions for that," further stated the statement.
The statement also stated that the UN Security Council resolution on a bilateral solution must be urgently implemented and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people must be protected. There should be efforts to ensure peace by ending the clashes that claim innocent lives, demanded the statement.
