Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh has said his peoples’ quest for freedom and independence will not stop, Al Jazeera reports.

During a speech before a cabinet session in Ramallah, he said that the Palestinians’ commitment for their goals on their own land would not be disturbed by the crimes of the colonialists.

Shtayyeh said the specter of death threatens thousands of children and patients in Gaza’s hospitals as fuel runs out, amid shortage of electricity, water, medicine and food.

“Our people in the Gaza Strip are exposed to … the Israeli murder and criminal machine,” he added.
