Shtayyeh: International consensus on establishing the State of Palestine must be turned into practical steps that end the occupation

Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said that the international consensus on establishing the State of Palestine must be translated into practical steps that embody the state on the ground toward ending the occupation, and that the world must begin thinking about imposing sanctions on Israel for its continued aggression, colonialism, occupation, and for its rejection of peace.

In a statement on Monday, Shtayyeh said that the world should not pay attention to the position of Netanyahu and his government that rejects the establishment of a Palestinian state, and should work to end the occupation, recognize the State of Palestine and to vote for Palestine to be a member state of the United Nations.

He pointed out that the criminal Israeli killing policies are still claiming the lives of innocent civilians from Palestinian people in Gaza Strip and preventing aid from entering the strip to meet the people’s needs, noting that diseases have begun to spread, and thousands of cases of hepatitis and other diseases have been recorded, under the cold weather while there are no suitable shelter.

Shtayyeh also said that during the aggression on Gaza, the Israeli occupation continued to escalate attacks on several areas in the West Bank. The Israeli colonists established 18 colonial outposts, at least 50,000 dunums of land were seized, 669 facilities were demolished, 1,323 demolition notices were delivered, 22,000 trees were uprooted, and there are 700 military checkpoints in the West Bank, as well. He noted that there are 49 schools threatened with total or partial demolition, and more than 6,000 civilians have been detained.
