He said that the image of the child Abdullah confirms once again that the Israeli violations are serious and the world that calls itself free must prevent these violations.

He also stressed that Palestinian children suffer constantly because of the occupation, which deprives them of all their rights, such as the right to play, travel, treatment and education.

He added, “The occupation does not respect international standards and principles related to the protection of children, and continues to violate international agreements related to childhood, such as the right to education, health, play and movement. He added that the occupation policies target children with field executions, imprisoning them, issuing unfair sentences, exorbitant financial fines, depriving them of their right to education and safe access to their schools, in addition to closing some of them.”
