“While the whole world is preoccupied with the situation in Lebanon, Israel has been taking this chance to kill more civilians in Gaza, and kidnap the odd cabinet minister from the democratically elected Hamas government. Israel's latest victim is the speaker of the parliament, Aziz Dwaik, who was abducted from his home and tortured in an Israeli prison. In fact, Dwaik was beaten so badly, he had to be taken to a hospital. To add to that his lawyers were not allowed to visit him in the hospital,” Omar said.
