Palestinian FM calls on international community to stop Israeli aggression, criminal acts

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has called on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities and adopt appropriate measures to stop the Israeli regime’s violations of human rights and criminal acts, particularly its land expropriation and settlement expansion policies.

The ministry, in a statement released on Sunday, urged the international community to fulfill its obligations by taking necessary legal steps to compel the occupying Tel Aviv regime to stop its violations and aggression, and to pressure Israel to engage in serious negotiations that would put an end to the occupation of Palestinian-owned land.

International measures have so far failed to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and have instead given Israel more time to eliminate the remaining opportunities for the so-called two-state solution, the statement noted.

Faced with Palestinians’ wrath, intl. outcry, Israel says committed to al-Aqsa status quo

The occupying regime of Israel says it is “committed” to the status quo at the mosque and nothing will change about it.

The Palestinian foreign ministry then held the Israeli regime fully and directly responsible for expansion of illegal settlements, Judaization of al-Quds as well as attempts to disconnect the occupied holy city from its Palestinian neighborhoods.

It emphasized that Israeli authorities are exploiting the international situation and racing against time to advance their expansionist colonial projects, and to implement the apartheid system in occupied Palestinian territories.

The ministry described Israel’s practices and plans as a coup against the existing agreements, stressing that the Tel Aviv regime is fiercely opposed to peace.

The Palestinian foreign ministry finally condemned Israeli regime’s plans aimed at the expansion of existing settlements and outposts, construction of new settler units, as well as confiscation and razing of Palestinian lands.
