PA condemns Israel closure of Huwwara Street to Palestinians
Today, Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned in the strongest terms the decision of the Israeli occupation authorities to close Huwwara Street to Palestinian vehicles and allow settler vehicles to pass.
In a statement, the Ministry considered this a submission to the positions of the fascist Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, in which he bragged that the movement of settlers was more important than the freedom of the Palestinians.
She said: “It views this decision with great danger as a policy of isolation and apartheid that divides the West Bank into racist and discriminatory Bantustans, and gives settlers the largest area of the West Bank’s geography to deepen settlement under the pretext of movement and flimsy security pretexts, all of which contribute to the occupation’s policy aimed at annexing the West Bank and imposing Israeli control over more From the Palestinian land.
The ministry added: "The international community's miserable reactions to Ben Gvir's statement at the time, and we believe that they are low and do not rise to the level of the crime of apartheid and the persecution and injustice our people are exposed to."
The Ministry confirmed that the occupying state is continuing to annex the West Bank and impose apartheid and its crimes on our people with shameful international complicity.
