The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expats condemned Israel’s continued aggression in support of far right settler groups on Jabal Sbeih in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, and their expropriation of Palestinian land in the entire area with the aim of seizing it by force and allocating it to build a new settlement. The ministry has once again warned against this expansionist colonial project targeting the entire area of southern Nablus, its serious risks to the chances of achieving the two-state solution, and its disastrous consequences in further fragmenting and dividing occupied West Bank areas. The ministry called on the UN Security Council to assume its legal and moral responsibilities regarding this crime against the Palestinian territory, and to take the necessary measures to implement its resolution No. 2334. It also called upon the new ICC prosecutor to speed up its investigation of all the crimes committed by Israel. For further details, click here
