The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Condemns Israeli Annexation Calls for the West Bank as a Grave Outcome of Global Failure
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemns recent statements and calls by several Israeli officials to impose what they term “sovereignty” over the occupied West Bank. The Ministry views these statements as a blatantly colonial and racist extension of the ongoing campaign of extermination and forced displacement against the Palestinian people. These actions show flagrant disregard for international legitimacy and consensus, especially on the two-state solution, and openly challenge the Arab-Islamic Summit held today in Riyadh and its resolutions.
The Ministry stresses that the international community’s longstanding failure to enforce United Nations resolutions on the Palestinian cause, along with inaction to halt Israel’s campaign of destruction, has emboldened Israel’s ruling right-wing to intensify its systematic war crimes and grave violations aimed at erasing the Palestinian cause and eroding the prospects for a two-state solution.
The Ministry urgently demands a resolute response from the United States and the global community, advocating for a decisive UN Security Council resolution to grant the State of Palestine full membership in the United Nations, mandate an immediate end to Israel’s campaign of extermination, and establish binding mechanisms to enforce the General Assembly’s resolution and the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice.
In addition, the Ministry underscores that imposing international sanctions on the occupying state, along with targeting its leaders, settlement advocates, and extremist factions, is essential to halt Israel’s relentless assault on Palestinian rights and secure a future grounded in justice and accountability.
