RAMALLAH, June 29 (Bernama-WAFA) -- The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Sunday called on the international community to fulfil its obligations under international law and United Nations resolutions to stop ongoing attacks by Israeli colonists against Palestinian civilians.
The Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported that the ministry urged immediate implementation of relevant UN decisions, especially Security Council Resolution 2334, saying the recent waves of colonist violence across the West Bank reveal a clear division of roles between Israeli colonists and the occupation army.
“Both are working together to suppress civilians through intimidation, assaults, destruction of property, arson, and obstruction of daily life,” the ministry said in a statement.
It described how main roads between Palestinian cities have been cut off, while entrances to villages have been closed with more than 1,200 checkpoints and iron gates, as part of a deliberate and systematic policy designed to control and suffocate Palestinian life.
The ministry reiterated its commitment to diplomatic efforts at all levels to build international consensus around the need for concrete measures.
It urged countries to impose sanctions on Israel’s colonial settlement regime and to act swiftly to end impunity for colonist violence.
