This morning, Monday, the Palestinian presidency called on the world to take serious and tangible steps on the ground against Israel and oblige it to abide by all signed agreements.

Presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Dina said, "The Israeli occupation government, by officially informing the United Nations of the severing of relations with UNRWA, is ignoring all international norms, charters, resolutions and international humanitarian law."

He added: "Israel is continuing to target UNRWA, with the aim of liquidating the refugee issue, eliminating the right of return, and obstructing its activities and role. The world must take serious and tangible steps on the ground against Israel, holding the occupation government fully responsible for the serious repercussions of this decision."

Abu Rudeineh also condemned the settlers’ attack at dawn today on the city of Al-Bireh, and the burning of about 20 citizens’ vehicles, stressing that these attacks and crimes by the terrorist settler militias are nothing but a result of the continued war of extermination waged by the Israeli occupation state against our people, their holy sites and their property, and that the occupation government and the United States bear responsibility for it alike.

He stressed that the legalization of colonial outposts in the West Bank, and the promotion of plans to build new colonial units, comes within the framework of the comprehensive war waged by the Israeli occupation state against the Palestinian people, their land and their holy sites.
