Muscat: The Palestinian Presidency condemned "heinous" settler crimes that killed five citizens in the occupied West Bank.
According to Qatar News Agency, the deaths were recorded in Abu Falah village, northeast of Ramallah, in Qaryut village in Nablus governorate, and in Wadi al-Rakhim area east of Yatta. The presidency emphasized that international silence over the occupation's crimes and the lack of accountability have contributed to the escalation of violence and terror against Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, alongside the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
The presidency held the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for this crime by providing protection and support to settler groups that continue their attacks against Palestinian citizens and their property in the West Bank. It warned of the danger of these violent Israeli policies and called on the international community, particularly the United States administration, to urgently intervene to compel the occupation authorities to stop the war and prevent further crimes against Palestinians.
