The governing People’s Progressive Party (PPP) yesterday condemned the killing of civilians on both sides of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas and it also opposed an order from Jerusalem for the evacuation of over a million persons from Gaza.
In its first statement on the bloody upheaval triggered by Hamas’ attacks on civilians and the military in southern Israel, the PPP steered a careful path between Israel, which Guyana now has diplomatic relations with, and the Palestinian cause which the party has historically strongly supported.
Freedom House said it has historically stood in support of a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in keeping with UN resolution 242.
