The Palestinian Foreign Ministry considered that “the decision of the Israeli occupying army to build a pavilion near the tents of citizens in Khirbet al-Farisiyah in the northern Jordan Valley is an official attempt by Israel to steal Palestinian land on the way to annexation and Judaization of the largest area of ​​areas classified as “C “as a strategic depth for settlement.”

In a statement, the ministry indicated that “the occupying authorities find no one to hold them accountable and restrain them as they show off their embarrassment to the United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for the Arab Region, Asia. and the Pacific Ocean, during its presence on the land of the occupied State of Palestine, and send a signal to the entire system that it is not afraid of anyone.”

She pointed out that “the encouragement of the United States of America and its provision of protection to the occupying authorities from liability, as well as the international community’s fear of being accused of anti-Semitism by the occupiers if they dare to criticize their racist policies, encourage them to commit new daily crimes against our Palestinian people.”

She stressed that “no more than 4,000 new settlement housing units have been built in several areas of the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and even before many countries of the world and their various institutions issued their usual and limited statements of condemnation, the occupying authorities have announced a new batch of settlement construction with the aim of flooding the land with settlements in order to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state on this land.

She also emphasized that “this declaration was issued at a time when the United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for the Arab Region, Asia and the Pacific, along with the Representative of the Special Secretary-General for the Middle East, is visiting Palestine. … This is a blow to the United Nations system and a serious challenge for it.”

She pointed out that “the lack of global interest in what is happening in the land of the occupied State of Palestine, under the pretext of focusing on more important events, exposes Palestine and its cause to neglect and ignorance of the reality of occupation and colonialism. “

The ministry held the occupying government, led by extremist Naftali Bennett, “full and direct responsibility for this expansion of the settlement, its consequences and consequences in the arena of conflict, as a dangerous escalation that threatens to blow up the whole situation.”
