Occupied Jerusalem - SANA
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the Israeli occupation’s continued expansion of settlement operations in the Jordan Valley in the West Bank comes within the framework of implementing the ill-fated Deal of the Century, amid suspicious international silence.
In a statement carried by Wafa news agency, the Foreign Ministry stated that the occupation’s seizure of tens of thousands of dunams east of Khallet Makhoul in the northern Jordan Valley to expand settlement operations comes within the framework of implementing annexation plans stipulated by the so-called Deal of the Century.
The Foreign Ministry stressed that the continued violations of the occupation against the Palestinians, assaulting them and preventing them from entering their lands, destroying their properties and demolishing their homes and facilities rise to the level of war crimes and the silence of the international community encourages it to persist in its crimes and to continue implementing its settlement plans aimed at liquidating the Palestinian issue and undermining any opportunity to establish an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. Occupied.
The Foreign Ministry called on the international community, the United Nations and its bodies to shoulder their moral and legal responsibilities and obligations towards the Palestinian people and to take the necessary measures to pressure the occupation authorities to stop their crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories.
