The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and expatriates condemned the settlement escalation that devours the Palestinian land, describing it as a "brutal", calling on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities towards the largest ethnic cleansing in history.
In a statement on Wednesday, the ministry blamed the Israeli government, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, for the full and direct responsibility for the risks and repercussions of the deepening and expansion of the settlement in the territory of the State of Palestine, and the blind American bias to the occupation and its settlement policies have blamed this Settlement Ecstasy "by the occupation authorities.
"This step is a clear violation not only of international law and United Nations resolutions, but specifically of resolution 2334 of 2016, which calls on States Members of the United Nations and the Security Council in particular, as well as the Secretary-General of the United Nations, to respect and protect their decisions by shouldering their responsibilities," she said. Towards the defenceless Palestinian people, who are subjected to the largest process of ethnic cleansing, expulsion and abolition in modern history. "
The "foreign " referred to the orientation of the so-called local organization and Construction Committee of the Jerusalem Occupation municipality to endorse a plan to construct another 75 settlement units in Beit Hanina, and to issue a decision by the occupying authorities containing a blueprint for the establishment of 4,700 new settlement units in the village of Walajah, under Its plans for the so-called "Greater Jerusalem" in an attempt to close the door definitively to any Palestinian communication between occupied Jerusalem and the southern occupied West Bank, with the target Palestinian land being rich in monuments, groundwater and springs, with an estimated area of about 841 dunums. This is in addition to a massive settlement road network to link the settlements of the Hebron Governorate with those surrounding occupied Jerusalem and to link them all to the Israeli rear.
The ministry added that the silence of the international community and the fact that some States were satisfied with the statements condemning the media for settlement, the failure to implement the relevant resolutions of international legitimacy and the international failure to hold Israel accountable as an occupying power for its settlement crimes, all encourage the occupation authorities to speed up the implementation Its expansionist colonialist designs in the territory of the State of Palestine without giving any attention to international legality and its resolutions.
