Perdana Dialogue Series presents
🛑PGPF PERDANA DIALOGUE SERIES 🛑
Israeli violent aggression on Gaza will soon be entering a 4th week since Hamas’s unprecedented attack on Israel. The continuous onslaught of Israeli armed forces has killed thousands of civilians in which the majority are women and children. This fact, coupled with indiscriminate bombings of civilian buildings such as hospitals and schools has drawn much criticism from all sides internationally.
As Israel violates international law and conventions with impunity, how long will the world condemn with mere words until a red line is crossed and justifies a POSSIBLE ESCALATION OF PALESTINE-ISRAEL CONFLICT?
