In a conference given at the headquarters of the PIT-CNT union, the peace activist based in Israel stressed that Washington is the main supplier of weapons to the Israeli State.
“International mobilization, also putting pressure on and accusing the United States government of its complicity, can tip the balance in a positive direction,” he noted.
He opined that stopping the shipment of weapons and ammunition to Tel Aviv may force it to allow a ceasefire in Gaza.
The historian warned that the current conflict could become a regional war “with incalculable results, disastrous for the lives of all the peoples of the region.”
Leibner maintained that the Palestinian people in Gaza are in one of the most dramatic moments of their existence.
“Right now hundreds of thousands of people are on the verge of death, and only external pressures, outside of Israel and Palestine, can stop that,” he said.
The expert described what the Palestinian population is suffering as a genocidal war.
The most urgent thing at this moment is the broadest and most energetic mobilization possible around the world for a ceasefire and the immediate entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza, he said.
He also emphasized that we must ask for “the release of hostages and prisoners of all kinds, from both sides,” and “the return of hundreds of thousands of Gazans to their homes and the reconstruction of their homes and their lives.”
