The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates called on the international community to apply real international pressure to compel the Israeli government to stop all its illegal unilateral measures, to curb and dismantle settler militias and terrorist organizations, and to dry up their funding sources.

In a press statement today, Sunday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the escalation in the attacks and crimes of the occupation forces, settler militias, and their terrorist elements against Palestinian citizens, their land, property, homes, and sanctities, the latest of which was the settlers’ terrorist attacks, under the protection of the occupation forces, on unarmed civilians in the town of Qusra, south of Nablus, and their attacks on shepherds in Al-Mughayer village, east of Ramallah, in addition to cutting down and uprooting 74 olive trees in the town of Nilin, west of Ramallah.

It held the Israeli government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu fully and directly responsible for the attacks and attacks of settler militias and their dangerous consequences on the conflict arena.

The Foreign Ministry pointed out that the weak and low international responses and attitudes towards settler crimes and orgies, and the failure to implement United Nations resolutions on the Palestinian issue perpetuate the occupation and deepen the episodes of the apartheid regime, and encourage extremist settlers and their terrorist organizations to commit more attacks on Palestinian citizens.

It emphasized that the protection and immunity provided by some major countries to the occupying state secures its continued impunity, deepens the injustice and persecution of the Palestinian people, and steals more of its land in favor of settlements to complete the annexation of the West Bank, and also undermines any opportunity to embody the Palestinian state on the ground with East Jerusalem as its capital, Which leads to resolving the future of the negotiated final solution issues unilaterally and by the occupation force and in accordance with the map of its colonial interests.
