Palestinian Foreign Affairs: Settlement Plans Eliminate Any Chance of Establishing a Palestinian State

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry warned that the Israeli occupation entity’s continued expansion of its settlement schemes in the West Bank would eliminate any chance of establishing an independent Palestinian state.

“We consider it extremely dangerous for the occupation authorities to continue their expansionist settlement plans and deepen the system of discrimination and apartheid in order to close the door to any opportunity to embody the Palestinian state,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement today quoted by WAFA agency.

The foreign ministry stressed that the settlement escalation taking place in the West Bank, including the city of Jerusalem, is a blatant challenge to the relevant resolutions of international legitimacy, demanding the implementation of Resolution 2334, which confirms the illegality of settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories and demands to stop it and provide international protection to the Palestinian people, who are subjected to the most heinous forms of genocide and the need to impose deterrent sanctions on the racist colonial occupation system.
