The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants said in a statement that the group should visit the coastal enclave to ascertain the size and dimensions of the genocide against the Palestinian people.

In addition, it said, it should analyze the issue of the people who disappeared and were detained by the military of the neighboring country. The discovery of the mass grave, where 30 people were buried blindfolded and with their hands tied, is clear evidence that they were executed by cold blood, he said.

The portfolio pointed out that this discovery reflects the magnitude of the tragedy to which civilians are exposed in that territory, where some 2.3 million people live.
