Abu Dhabi, Shawwal 16, 1436, Aug 1, 2015, SPA -- The United Arab Emirates has condemned in the strongest possible terms the reprehensible terrorist criminal act in the West Bank in which the young Palestinian child, Ali Dawabsheh, was burned to death, saying that the act was a crime that had caused feelings of revulsion around the world. In a statement to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said "This crime is a dangerous escalation of the terrorist acts being carried out by the Israeli colonists on the West Bank against the Palestinian people, their land and their places of worship, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces." Sheikh Abdullah also said "This crime is the natural by-product and result of the spread of Israeli colonies in Palestinian territories. It is the result of and a symptom of the brutal racialist culture of the colonists that is directed against the Palestinians, against women, children and unarmed civilians, this being carried out under the protection of, and with silence from, the official Israeli establishment." --SPA 18:37 LOCAL TIME 15:37 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
