The representative of the Palestinian Authority in Germany, Laith Arafeh, has thanked pro-Palestinian demonstrators for their support.

He pointed out that “more than 10,000 Palestinian civilians have now been killed including 4,000 children and 3,000 women.”

Arafeh warned that anyone who supported a “continuation of aggression” was on the wrong side of history.

“It is very regrettable that calls for justice and a ceasefire continue to be denigrated and falsely labelled as support for terrorism,” said Arafeh’s statement.

“We are grateful to the tens of thousands who have raised their voices for justice and freedom in Palestine,” Arafeh wrote.
