The international community should act to stop Israeli settlement expansion: Palestinian Foreign Ministry

Arab News

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reaffirmed that the Israeli occupation continues to expand its settlement building operations in occupied Al-Quds in order to impose a fait accompli and implement its colonialist annexation scheme. The ministry urged the international community to immediately act to halt this Israeli settlement expansion project.

In a statement on Tuesday, the ministry said that the Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is trying to exploit the forthcoming visit of the US President Joe Biden to the region and he is in a race against time to implement as many settlement building plans in the occupied Palestinian territories as possible, with the aim of creating a fait accompli there.

The ministry added that the occupation has announced the implementation of a number of settlement building plans in order to perpetuate the annexation and Judaization of Al-Quds city and to completely isolate it from its Palestinian surroundings through encircling it with settlements from its four directions and changing its features.

The ministry pointed out that the occupation continues to carry out ethnic cleansing campaigns against the Palestinians in Al-Quds with the aim of displacing them, not to mention the repeated attacks on Palestinian Islamic and Christian sanctities, mainly Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The ministry warned against ignoring these Israeli flagrant violations, urging the US administration and the international community to assume their responsibilities and fulfill their obligations pursuant to the international law and the UN Charter and to take necessary measures to implement the relevant UN resolutions and provide international protection for the Palestinian people.
