Foreign Ministry: Syria denounces Prawer-Begin plan in the Negev
DAMASCUS, (ST)- “Syria condemns in the strongest terms the racist Prawer-Begin plan.
The said plan threatens the displacement of 36 Palestinian villages ,the relocation of 40,000 Palestinians in the Negev and the confiscation of 800,000 acres of land,” the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry spokesman said Monday.
“the plan represents ethnic cleansing and “Israel” is trying to “enact a law” for discrimination and racism. So this plan also aims at removing the Arab Palestinians from their villages to make way for the construction of new settlements, “the ministry spokesmen told local media.
” the Prawer-Begin plan is part of the racist ethnic cleansing policies that Israel since 1948 has followed a policy of Judization against the Palestinians in occupied Palestine with the aim of making the land as Jewish as possible and put an end to what is left of Palestine Cause with its historical, geographic, demographic and heritage dimensions, “added the spokesman.
The spokesman branded the Prawer-Begin plan as “dangerous” and that it constitutes a blatant violation of the international law and its principles, particularly those related to human rights.
“Syria called the international community to move promptly to stop this plan and deter the occupation forces and hold them accountable for their unilateral violations of the international law,” underscored the spokesman.
He stressed Syria’s call to stand by the Palestinian Arab people in the face of these racist plan so as to stop implementation of the said measures as they pose a threat to the security and stability in the region.
