Mansour: Escalating the Israeli occupation’s settlement plans a flagrant violation of international law

Palestine’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Riad Mansour has reiterated that escalating the Israeli occupation’s colonialist settlement plans as well as attacks on the Palestinian people constitutes a flagrant violation of the international law, calling on the international community to stop these Israeli violations.

In a message to the UN Secretary General, President of the Security Council and Secretary of the UN General Assembly, Mansour said that the occupation authorities’ intention  to establish 3300 settlement units in the West Bank and more than 450 other settlement units in occupied Al-Quds flagrantly violates the international law and the UN resolutions. He stressed the need to confront such violations that aim at cutting the geographical contact between Palestinian cities and towns.

 The Palestinian diplomat referred to the occupation forces’ continued acts of aggression, through shelling Palestinian cities and towns and displacing the locals, demolishing houses, building settlement units on Palestinian lands and escalating settlers’ attacks on the  Palestinian locals and properties.

In the same context, Mansour said that the Palestinian prisoners, including minors and children,  are being exposed to all forms of torture and aggressive acts inside the occupation jails which also lack healthcare due to deliberate medical negligence in the light of the Coronavirus pandemic.

He urged the international community to act effectively to stop the Israeli occupation’s violations, release the Palestinian prisoners and hold the occupation accountable for its crimes.

The occupation authorities recently announced a new plan to establish more than 3300 settlement units on the occupied Palestinian territories, as part of the Israeli war of settlement and Judaization that aims at isolating the Palestinian cities and villages from each other, in implementation of the so-called “Deal of the Century.”
