The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned of the Israeli occupation’s accelerating steps aimed at changing the status quo in the West Bank, paving the way for its annexation and blockade of the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that it views with extreme concern the escalation in the occupation’s crimes, the announced and unannounced annexation of the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the occupation’s perpetration of the most heinous forms of ethnic cleansing, the persecution of Palestinians, the embitterment of their lives during the month of Ramadan, and the strangulation of the Gaza Strip and its residents.
The Ministry emphasized that the suffering of Palestinians is endless due to the incursions and mass arrests, especially in the heart of cities, camps, and towns. This represents a widespread attempt to overturn signed agreements and their outcomes, and a widespread attempt to change the historical, political, geographical, and demographic reality of the occupied West Bank, as is happening in the Jenin and Tulkarm governorates.
