Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the occupation’s seizure of hundreds of Palestinian archaeological sites in various areas of the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem and called on the international community and the specialized international organizations, foremost of which is UNESCO, to provide protection for Palestinian archaeological and religious sites against Israeli illegal practices of changing their landmarks and falsifying them. The Ministry further underlined that the silence of the international community is giving the green light to the occupying power to continue its theft of the Palestinian land and its archaeological sites. It finally called on the international community to hold the Israeli antiquities thieves accountable and to impose sanctions on the occupying power to stop it from targeting archaeological sites.
