The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates stressed that the continued crimes perpetrated by the occupation and its settlers against the Palestinian people are due to the absence of an international force capable of compelling Israel to implement international legitimacy resolutions and protect Palestinian rights.

The ministry said in a statement on Monday evening, "The occupation continues to kidnap our people and stifle all aspects of their lives and its components, in an extension of the genocidal crimes led by the occupation government against our people in the Gaza Strip, the latest of which was the escalation of settler incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque to perform Talmudic rituals in the eastern part of its courtyards with the participation of Knesset members and rabbis under the protection of the occupation forces. The cities of Jenin and Tulkarm and their camps are also being subjected to an expansion of aggression, the demolition of homes, the destruction of infrastructure, and the deepening of forced displacement among citizens in the areas surrounding the camps. In addition to the crimes of settlements and settlers and their terrorism, as happened in Masafer Yatta this morning, and the occupation bulldozers paving a colonial road in the town of Al-Khader in Bethlehem, and the uprooting of olive trees by terrorist settlers in the town of Deir Ballut in Salfit, the theft of livestock in the northern Jordan Valley, and the storming of the archaeological site of Sebastia."

The ministry affirmed that while it "is monitoring the violations and crimes of genocide, displacement, and annexation committed by the occupation, with countries and components of the international community, it holds the international community responsible for the impunity enjoyed by the occupation and its leaders. It calls on countries to link the level of their relations with the Israeli government to the extent of its commitment to an immediate end to the genocide and its illegal unilateral steps that threaten the chances of reviving the peace process."
