RAMALLAH June 28. 2024 (Saba) - The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on Friday that the settlement escalation taking place in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is a blatant challenge to the relevant resolutions of international legitimacy, especially Resolution 2334, and an official Zionist disregard for the international consensus rejecting settlements.
In a statement, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the approval of the so-called Zionist cabinet to legalize five settlement outposts in the West Bank, and to push plans to build thousands of new settlement units throughout the West Bank.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry called for urgent American and international intervention to stop its illegal unilateral measures, "impose deterrent international sanctions on the entire system of racist colonial occupation, and exert real pressure on the Zionist government to stop settlement construction and comply with the international will for peace."
The ministry said that it "views with great seriousness the Zionist government's continued commission of the crime of settlement expansion and the deepening of apartheid, with the aim of closing the door to any opportunity to materialize the Palestinian state, and holding it fully and directly responsible for its consequences and serious repercussions on the conflict arena and the region as a whole."
The so-called Zionist Cabinet for Political and Security Affairs approved yesterday the legalization of five outposts in the West Bank, and pushing plans to build thousands of new settlement units throughout the West Bank.
The outposts are strategically located in the West Bank, namely Avitar on Nablus land, Sadi Ephraim and Givat Assaf on Ramallah and al-Bireh land, Haltz on land between Hebron and Bethlehem, and Adorim outpost on Hebron land.
