British MP George Galloway: World Not Taking Action on Israel - War on Gaza

British MP George Galloway: World Not Taking Action on Israel - War on Gaza

Israeli airstrikes continue to target the besieged Gaza Strip while the international community seems sluggish in both taking notice and action.

The United Nations Security Council has held an emergency meeting amid the ongoing Israeli airstrikes against Palestinians.

At the meeting, the Palestinian ambassador called on the Council to take action against Israel's violation of the international law, while the UN Secretary-General demanded a ceasefire.

President of the Palestinian National Unity Government Mahmoud Abbas says the international community should intervene to halt Israel's dangerous military offensive. He has warned that the recent wave of violence could plunge the whole region into more instability.

Gaza has been blockaded since June 2007. The blockade has caused a decline in the standards of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment, and unrelenting poverty.
