Matjaz Nemec‘s remarks got here throughout his keynote speech in a ceremony that marked the 82nd anniversary of the Battle of Drazgose, a World War II battle in present-day Slovenia that resulted within the Nazis destroying a village and killing dozens of civilians.
“What we are witnessing in Gaza is nothing more than an attempt to destroy a nation by the occupier,” Nemec warned, asking: “How long will Europe and the world continue to watch the erasure of a nation before our eyes? How far is tolerance for the apocalypse of the sea, bombings of hospitals and refugee camps?”
“As we joined the Ukrainian action against Russia in its aggression against Ukraine, it is our responsibility to now join the activities of the Republic of South Africa and its action against Israel,” he mentioned, stressing that the battle in Gaza quantities to “genocide.”
He underlined that each Palestinians and Israelis have the fitting to reside with out worry and in peace, on their land, in respect and co-existence.
“No one can deny the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, just as no one could deny us this right,” he mentioned. “That is why Slovenia must continue to strive for a peace process that should lead to the recognition of an independent Palestine.”
