JERUSALEM LATEST NEWS: As Israel continues to attack civilians in the Gaza Strip and prepare for a ground operation in Lebanon, its illegal expansion plans targeting East Jerusalem have been strongly condemned by three countries.
Reacting to Israel’s plan to legalize five illegal Jewish settlements on seized Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank, GCC Secretary-General Jassim Mohammed Al-Budivi in a written statement said Israel’s systematic violations against international law and legitimate decisions are illegal and categorically rejected.
Warnings and Condemnations of Israel
Budeibi warned that if Israel continues with these dangerous policies, the region’s problems will deepen and it will fall on a path from which there is no return.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry also issued a written statement strongly condemning Israel’s decision to approve the request to regularize illegal settlements.
They called every country
The statement noted that legitimate international decisions have once again been violated and called on all countries to stop Israel’s unilateral actions and force Israel to comply with international decisions.
In a written statement, the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the Israeli government’s plans to expand illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
The statement called the move a “blatant violation of international agreements” and stressed Israel’s strong opposition to illegal settlement activity in occupied Palestinian territory.
“This decision is a dangerous threat.”
A statement from Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry said it condemned the Israeli Security Cabinet’s plan to regularise five illegal settlements.
“This decision is a clear violation of international law and a dangerous threat to efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital,” the statement said.
what happened?
On June 28, the Israeli Security Cabinet, at the request of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, approved the regularization of five illegal settlements in the West Bank’s “Zone B.”
Within the framework of the Second Oslo Accords, signed between Palestine and Israel in 1995, the occupied West Bank was divided into Zones A, B and C.
Administrative and security control of “Area A”, 18 percent of the West Bank, was transferred to Palestine, while administrative control of “Area B”, 21 percent, was transferred to Palestine and its security control to Israel. Administration and security of Area C was left to Israel.
