Shtayyeh: Pressure needed to stop Israel’s collective punishment
Today, Thursday, Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh called on the international community, led by the American administration, to put serious pressure on Israel to stop all its collective punishments against our people, daily raids into Palestinian areas, arrests, killings, and attacks on Islamic and Christian sanctities.
This came during his meeting with the Norwegian Special Envoy for Peace in the Middle East, Hilda Haraldstad, to discuss the latest developments and developments in Palestine, in the presence of Norway's representative to Palestine, Torn Vesti, in his office in Ramallah.
He also called on the donor countries, led by Norway in its capacity as the chair of the donors' conference, to put pressure on Israel to implement the pledges it made, and the need to stop all unfair deductions from our funds that put us in a real financial crisis, to release the withheld funds, and to empower the Palestinian economy.
Shtayyeh said: "The current Israeli government's measures and the cumulative steps of previous governments aim at destroying all aspects of life for our people, and waging several wars against us at all levels, over our land, money, people and our narrative."
