The Palestinian National Council condemned the Israeli crime of killing nine Palestinians and wounding 14 others in the Gaza Strip.

The blood of the Palestinian victims will haunt the Israeli war criminals in international courts, the council chairman Salim al Zaanoun said in a Tuesday statement.

These crimes are part of the Israeli terrorist policy that has been adopted by Netanyahu's government and the former governments, the statement said.

The council asserted the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their right to resist the Israeli occupation and establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
