Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Demands International Action to End Palestinian Suffering

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates warns of the escalating violations and crimes committed by settler militias and armed groups against Palestinian citizens, their lands, properties, homes, and religious sites across the occupied West Bank. The most recent attack involved ongoing assaults on Bedouin communities in the Jordan Valley, including an attack on students and teachers at Al- Ka’abneh School northwest of Jericho today.

The Ministry views these crimes as a manifestation of official Israeli policy, supported by extremist ministers and protected by the Israeli occupation forces. This policy seeks to expedite the gradual annexation of the West Bank, particularly Area C, by displacing Palestinians and expanding settlements, thereby undermining the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state.

The Ministry is closely monitoring the situation and engaging with international partners to ensure accountability for these crimes. The Ministry calls on the international community to move beyond mere condemnation and to take concrete actions. The Ministry urges the global community to enforce the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, ensuring that responses align with international law and UN obligations. Practical measures must be taken to compel Israel to end its acts of aggression and implement necessary mechanisms to address these violations.
