No justification for Israeli extrajudicial killings in Jenin: Palestinian politician
Israel’s extrajudicial killings of two unarmed Palestinians in the occupied West Bank’s Jenin have no justification, Mustafa Barghouti, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative political party, has told Al Jazeera.
Footage and witness accounts showed the pair holding their hands up and surrendering to the military before being shot dead.
“Israel is not fighting with anybody. They are just conducting attacks on a civilian population,” Barghouti said.
The Israeli army said it was “reviewing” the shootings, but recent examples make clear that no Israeli investigation will lead to punishment or policy change within the military, Barghouti added, referencing the leaked footage of Israeli soldiers gang-raping a prisoner at the Sde Teiman prison last year.
“They will claim that these were terrorists; they will try to dehumanise them,” Barghouti said. “They will claim the Israeli soldiers were afraid, and they will just bring any excuses.”
