The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC) has warned against reactions to the Gaza crisis, but declined to claim responsibility for the rockets launched from South Lebanon into North Israel, an event seen as retaliation against the Israeli offensive on Gaza that began on December 27.
Anwar Raja, the PFLP-GC representative in Lebanon, told AFP Thursday that the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip was “open to all possibilities,” especially in the absence of “any international political will to deter Israel from continuing to commit its holocaust in Gaza.”
Raja accused Arab regimes, which he declined to name, of being “bias, complicity and sometimes even participation” in the attacks on Gaza, which have left over 700 dead, mainly civilians, and 3,200 injured. He said the situation “will lead to different reactions with no clear title or source,” which in turn could provoke a confrontation that extended beyond Israel to Arab capitals in the form of “clashes between the angry people and their authorities.”
The anger the Israeli offensive on Gaza provoked may also “lead to the targeting of US interests,” he added.
Raja requested Israel and the “silent Arab official regime” realize the possible impact of their “on more than one level.”
