The Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls on the international community to stop the Israeli escalation in the West Bank and Jerusalem

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates called on the international community, especially the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities in implementing United Nations resolutions and ensuring their implementation, especially Resolution No. 2334, and forcing the occupying power to engage in a real peace process that leads to ending the occupation of the land. State of Palestine within a specified time limit.

In a statement, the ministry condemned, in the strongest terms, the crime of theft and looting of Palestinian land by the occupying state and its various branches, including the settler terrorist associations, the latest of which was revealed by the Hebrew media regarding the occupation state’s efforts to register Palestinian lands in the name of Jewish people in many areas and neighborhoods in Jerusalem. Occupied, including those surrounding the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The ministry considered this a flagrant violation of international law, resolutions of international legitimacy and signed agreements, and as an integral part of the processes of Judaizing Jerusalem and consecrating its annexation, striking the foundations of the historical, demographic and legal Palestinian presence in the Holy City, and its complete abolition.

The ministry held the Israeli government fully and directly responsible for the escalation of its crimes against our people and their rights, and warned against dealing with them as things that have become normal and familiar that do not require a serious stance or pause in the face of the dangers that threaten to explode the entire arena of conflict, especially in light of the Israeli government´s efforts to close the political horizon for resolving the conflict. . 

The ministry stressed that the occupying power is exploiting the double standards of international law and the failure to implement the international legitimacy resolutions on the Palestinian issue to deepen settlements and the gradual creeping annexation of the occupied West Bank, with the aim of resolving the final negotiated issues unilaterally and by force of the occupation.
