Present at the meeting were Kim Pyong Phal, chairman of the Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea who is chairman of the DPRK-Palestine Friendship and Solidarity Committee, and officials concerned.

There was a briefing on Israel's recent large-scale military attack on Palestine and its genocide.

Then the meeting issued a statement of the above-said committee.

The statement condemned the Israeli Zionists for persistently perpetrating large-scale barbaric attacks on the Gaza Strip of Palestine defying the international community's strong protest and denunciation.

Recalling that many Palestinians lost their lives and their cradles were reduced to ashes, the statement bitterly denounced Israel's genocide as a crime against humanity, a serious provocation against the Arab people and an undisguised act of torpedoing the Mid-east peace process.

It urged Israel to stop its rash actions and immediately halt all its military actions and respond to the demand of the Arab and other peoples of the world for a comprehensive and fair solution to the Mid-east issue.

The DPRK-Palestine Friendship and Solidarity Committee will always extend full support and solidarity to the Palestinian people in their just cause of taking back the territories occupied by Israel and regaining the legitimate national rights including the right to self-determination, the right to return to their homeland and the right to build an independent state with Kuds as its capital, noted the statement.
