The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates issued a statement condemning Tel Aviv’s actions against “defenseless civilians of Jerusalem”.
The decisions of Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right cabinet are serious violations of international law and collective punishments as part of the occupation policy, he said.
In this context, she considered that these arbitrary actions reflect a racist and arrogant colonial mentality based on the logic of violence.
The State Department warned that the current escalation in Israel-provoked violence will lead to a regional explosion.
In light of this situation, he called on the international community, and the United States in particular, to walk the talk and stop these attacks.
During a security cabinet meeting last night, Netanyahu announced he would be strengthening settlements around East Jerusalem, without giving further details.
The Palestinian authorities have systematically condemned the Jewish colonization of this area and Tel Aviv’s attempts to change its demographics by driving out the Arabs.
That country occupied the eastern part of the metropolis in the 1967 war and has since refused to hand it over to the Palestinians, despite UN Security Council resolutions and international demands.
