Identical letters dated 11 June 2002 from the Permanent Observer<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

of Palestine to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

and the President of the Security Council<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Israeli occupying forces continue to reoccupy the Palestinian City of Ramallah and continue to impose a military siege on the headquarters of the President of the Palestinian Authority in the city. The Israeli occupying forces have also continued to commit atrocities against the Palestinian people in those areas, using tanks and helicopter gunships to carry out assaults. The extremely dangerous political repercussions of these ongoing Israeli actions must be underscored, especially in light of what the Israeli government might perceive as encouragement by certain quarters.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\t<\/span>The Security Council should condemn such illegal Israeli actions and ensure the immediate withdrawal of the occupying forces and to take actions to prevent any reoccurrence in the future. We once again, call on the Security Council to immediately consider the situation and take the necessary measures in this regard.<\/p><\/div>\n
