Palestine Foreign Ministry: The Israeli occupation continues its crimes against the Palestinians and their property

On March 8th, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the Israeli occupation continues to seize Palestinian lands and  carried out forcible displacement, especially in the occupied city of Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley in the West Bank.

“ The Israeli occupation continues its crimes against the Palestinians, their property and holy sites, demolishing their homes, destroying and sabotaging wells and water lines, as happened today in the town of Bani Naim, east of Hebron, depriving them of electricity and leveling their lands, as happens in Masafer Yatta and the Jordan Valley,” WAFA News Agency quoted the Ministry’s statement as saying.

The Ministry stressed the need for the international community to shoulder its responsibilities and take decisive measures to stop the occupation and its crimes against the Palestinians.

The Ministry said that the suspicious international silence on the Israeli crimes and violations amounts to the level of complicity with them and proves that they are covering up for them .

The Ministry indicated that the decision of the International Criminal Prosecutor to open an official investigation into the crimes of the occupation constitutes a glimmer of hope for the Palestinian people.
