As the war in Gaza reaches a breaking point, the Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria, Abdallah Abu Shawesh has lashed out at Western leaders, accusing them of stocking the war with brazen political and military supports, while looking the other way as Israeli Defence Forces, IDF, are perpetrating genocide in Gaza.
This is even as he bemoaned the hatchet jobs the Western big medias are doing to cover up IDF’s horror in Gaza.
.
Addressing a world press conference in Abuja, on Wednesday, Shawesh explained that “the political war “this current war” would not have continued without the unconditional and unequivocal support of the Western countries to Israel. We all witnessed the mass visits by Western leaders not only to provide their full military and political support for the current genocide, but also have used extremely unbalanced language in commenting on the current ongoing war against the Palestinian people, which was interpreted by the Israeli occupation as the green light to commit more massacres.
He took a swipe at Western leaders for using aid supply into Gaza, to divert attention from the real issue of urgent need for immediate ceasefire, for which agitations from across the world is growing exponentially.

“One of the goals of this war is to forcefully transfer the Palestinian people to Sinai Peninsula, to implement the old Israeli dream, that we have been fighting against since 1956. Many are still trying to divert the discussion from the unconditional ceasefire to the humanitarian aids and how many trucks need to enter to Gaza and many other logistical details, this is a trap to pave the way to the Israeli occupation to continue with their genocidal and war crimes.
“No one should be trapped, we all should address the roots of the current humanitarian crises in Gaza, which is the frenzy Israeli war, what we need urgently is the ceasefire. All the world streets are flooded of the descent demonstrators calling for an immediate ceasefire, the gap between them and their official representatives is very wide.”
On the dirty job been perpetrated by big Western medias, Shawesh alleged that they’ve continued to deliberately stood facts on its head, while at other times they outrightly pay deaf ears to the massacres of innocent Palestinian civilians.
“Regrettably, none of the horror made it to the news on the western media. The timid calls from tne western leaders to put an end to the Jewish militia gangs in West Bank is just lips service, not sufficient at all and will make no difference on the ground, there are many tools to stop the war, if there is a will, in particular the majority of them are holding the western countries citizenship.
“The media war since the very first minute of the recent escalation., the Israeli Prime Minister himself, in a recorded call with the PresIdent of the USA, has spread many lies, on top of which are the beheaded 40 babies, and raped women. Mr. Biden himself tweeted this false news which triggered the White House to retract them after a few hours, This led to the eruption of a wide range of incitement against the Palestinian communities in the USA, which resulted in the killing of Wadih Al- Fayoumi, a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy, who was stabbed 26 times by his 75-year-old neighbor, as well as injuring his mother.
“The unbalanced western media, even without evidence or proof to these lies, are still repeating it. These exact media outlets that used to spread only a one side of the story, the Israeli side, over the many past decades. The did not give the Palestinian side the opportunity to appear on their screens in a balanced manner, to give our side of the story, which led to the misinformation, and a historical misunderstanding and misconception among the audience of these media outlets.”
Speaking on casualty figure on Palestinian side, Shawesh revealed that Palestine has become testing ground for newly invented weapons, putting the fatality figure at over 8700 in Gaza and 114 in the occupied West Bank, 73% of them are children women and elderly.
“The recent frenzy war has costed the Palestinian people the following: The number of Palestinian martyrs as of today exceeded 8700 in Gaza and 114 in the occupied West Bank, 73% of them are children women and elderly. The total number of the injured in Gaza reached more than 20,000, while in the West Bank it has reached 2000. In Gaza, the missing people under the rubbles around 1,500.
“The attacks on the health sector reached more than 116 of the health rescue staff and more than 100 injured, 25 ambulances completely became out of service and 25 require maintenance. One third of the hospitals, and 46 out of 72 of the primary health care in Gaza are out of service due to the direct attacks or the lack of fuel, all the hospitals are under a daily threat and they were requested to be evacuated many times.
“Thousands of the kidney failure, cancer and other chronic diseases patients are in critical condition and many of them will lose their lives due to the lack of the necessary medicines. Due to the lack of fresh water, hygiene and crowdedness, many infectious diseases started to erupt on crowd shelter centers, such as smallpox, scabies, and diarrhea.
“Due to the Israeli attack, 150,000 housing units became not inhabitant, while 2,7781 were totally leveled. 1.4 million civilians were forcefully internally displaced from North to South Gaza. 660,000 thousand took shelter in the United Nations premises, mosques, churches, hospitals and at their relative’s homes.
