Ramallah - Saba:
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club considered the Israeli court's decision to release the settler accused of killing the martyr Odeh al-Hathalin, from Masafer Yatta, a public message of incitement to settlers to kill more Palestinians.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the club said that the decision to release the killer settler is further evidence of the functional role played by the Israeli judicial system, as one of the primary arms in entrenching Israel's brutal system.
The club explained that this decision perpetuates the policy of impunity and provides legal protection for perpetrators of crimes against the Palestinian people.
It indicated that the enemy's judicial system, including military courts, has been and continues to be one of the most prominent tools employed by the enemy to legitimize its crimes, consolidate its control over Palestinian land and people, and target their existence and basic rights through judicial procedures that appear "legal" but are essentially discriminatory, oppressive, and racist.
The Prisoners' Club added that the killer's release and the scene in which the settler appeared before the court constitute a public message of incitement to settlers to kill more Palestinians.He pointed out that the decision was not surprising in light of the dozens and hundreds of cases of field executions and deliberate killings carried out by enemy soldiers and settlers without any accountability, which reinforces the policy of impunity and provides an environment conducive to the commission of further crimes.
In this context, the Prisoners' Club reiterated its call on the Palestinian national movement to seriously pursue a strategic decision to boycott the Israeli judicial system, which has perpetuated an approach of unprecedented brutality since the beginning of the war of extermination.
It also emphasized the need to strengthen human rights and legal efforts at the international level to hold perpetrators of grave violations accountable and end the exceptional impunity enjoyed by the enemy.
The Club called on the international community to impose clear sanctions on the enemy authorities that would place them in a state of legal and political isolation, emphasizing that the continuation of genocide and widespread crimes against the Palestinian people represents a direct threat to universal human values.
