Archbishop of Canterbury:
Ending Israeli occupation 'legal and moral necessity'
The Anglican leader has urged governments to uphold international law following the ICJ ruling declaring the Zionist regime’s occupation of Palestinian lands illegal.
Tehran, Qodsna - The archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has called for an end to the Zionist occupation of Palestinian lands and urged governments around the world to uphold international law.
His comments on Friday were a response to an advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice two weeks ago, which addressed Zionists’ presence in occupied Palestine.
The court found that decades-long occupation of Palestinian territories was "unlawful" and that its "near-complete separation" of people in the occupied West Bank breached international laws concerning "racial segregation" and "apartheid".
"The [ICJ] makes definitively clear that Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territories is unlawful and needs to end as rapidly as possible," said Welby.
