The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the expansionist settlement colonization in the Palestinian Territory in all its forms, the ethnic cleansing and the forced displacement of Palestinian citizens as is happening in occupied Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley. Occupied.

The ministry said in a press statement, today, Monday: The Israeli colonialism continues to chase the components of the Palestinian presence in the areas classified "C" through the demolition of homes and homes under construction and the destruction and sabotage of wells and water lines, as happened today in the town of Bani Naim, east of Hebron, and depriving Palestinian areas The target of electricity is the leveling of citizens´ lands, depriving them of their pastures and expelling them from it, as happens in Masafer Yatta and the Jordan Valley, and controlling water springs and their beds, as happened in Ain al-Hilweh in the northern Jordan Valley, which leads to the deprivation of citizens and their livestock from this important source of water.
