Guyana’s decision to provide financial assistance to humanitarian relief efforts to Gaza is commendable
Dear Editor,
The decision taken by the Guyana Government to provide financial assistance to the humanitarian relief efforts to the people of Gaza is commendable.
Guyana as a member of the United Nations Security Council has demonstrated that it is taking positions compatible with the thinking of progressive humanity which is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to allow for a return to normalcy to the Palestinian people.
At a much more fundamental level, as noted by President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, Guyana has always stood on the side of justice, especially when it comes to the fundamental and unalienable right of the Palestine people to have a country of their own.
It is now nearly three months since the killings and kidnapping of hundreds of Israelis by Hamas. While there can be no justification for the actions taken by Hamas, the response by the Israeli military has been brutal, disproportionate, and indiscriminate resulting in the deaths of over twenty thousand people including women and children.
The tide of public opinion is increasingly shifting away from Israel due to the harsh and barbaric actions taken against the Palestinian people. The initial solidarity shown by some countries towards Israeli following the Hamas attack is now dissipating. Israel is coming under pressure from several western allies including the United States to avoid civilian casualties and for a ceasefire.
The only solution to the crisis in Palestine is for a two-state solution.
It is time to bring about a peaceful and lasting resolution to the decades-long conflict in Palestine.
