Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Sinan Majali warned in a statement that such Israeli measures could lead to further escalation and violence, urging the international community to take swift and decisive action to put an end to such practices, which “threaten to undermine all efforts to bring about peace and security”.

Majali affirmed that expanding settlement construction and displacing Palestinians from their homes is “a flagrant violation of international law and international legitimacy resolutions”, foremost of which is the UN Security Council Resolution No. 2224.

He stressed that the unilateral breaches carried out by Israel, as the occupying power, such as building and expanding settlements, confiscating lands, and displacing Palestinians, are illegal, rejected, and condemned practices that represent “a serious violation of international humanitarian law”.

Such moves, he said, undermine the foundations of peace, efforts to resolve the conflict and achieve a just and comprehensive peace, and the chances for a two-state solution based on international legitimacy resolutions.
