Fakhri stressed in an interview with the program "With the Editor-in-Chief", which is broadcast on Palestine TV, the need to impose financial and economic restrictions on Israel, if it is not held accountable by the international community.

"There are no circumstances, however exceptional, can ever justify sexual torture or inhuman and degrading sexual treatment,” Edwards said in a statement today, stressing that all alleged crimes committed in the context of this terrible war must be investigated transparently and impartially, and those responsible must be held accountable.
