Ramallah: The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has affirmed that the calls by Israeli occupation government ministers to annex the West Bank and dismantle the Palestinian National Authority are a public political cover for the crimes of the occupation and its settlers.
According to Qatar News Agency, the Ministry strongly condemned the calls and provocative positions issued by ministers in the occupation government to impose sovereignty and dismantle the Palestinian National Authority, and the race against time to accelerate the annexation of the West Bank.
It considered these calls to be official recognition of the objectives of the occupation’s unilateral and illegal measures, foremost among which is colonization. These measures provide political cover for the crimes and attacks of the settlers, encourage them to commit more, and explain the dimensions of the occupation and its settlers’ desecration of the West Bank, its citizens, their land, their towns, their property, and their holy sites.
The Ministry called on the international community to deal with these statements with the utmost seriousness, considering them to be colonial, expansionist, and racist, requiring punishment and taking the necessary measures required by international law to ensure their cessation and prevent their implementation, thus protecting the opportunity to achieve peace based on the two-state solution.
