The Ministry considered, in a statement, Tuesday evening, that this arbitrary Israeli decision is an extension of the occupation’s encroachment on the occupied Palestinian land, and a continuation of the reversal of the signed agreements, and falls within the framework of the open war of occupation and operations of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian presence in all its forms, in Jerusalem and all the classified areas. C, in blatant injustice to the negotiated final solution issues as stated in the agreements, noting that the occupation authorities are destroying any components, facilities or homes of Palestinians in those areas, including those funded by Europe, with the aim of stealing and allocating those lands that constitute the majority of the West Bank’s area.

The Ministry considered that “this decision is a diplomatic scandal, and the European Union, its institutions and countries must strongly condemn it and not pass it by without ignoring it, because of the real dangers it poses to the opportunity to implement the principle of the two-state solution, especially since this Israeli position is illegal and illegitimate and does not fall within the powers of the occupying authority.” And remaining silent about it encourages the occupying state to continue annexing the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.”
